May 2024 Newsletter

Where did the school year go?! We have enjoyed an AWESOME school year. I am very proud of our FMS family. We praise God for His goodness to us all!

We are excited about the adventure-filled summer ahead and 2024-2025 school year! Thank you for sharing your precious children with us. It's not too late to enroll for Summer Fun or the 2024-2025 school year!

In order for us to have school safely, anyone with symptoms of any illness must remain at home. Please monitor your child's health and the persons in your student's household to ensure that strep, RSV, flu, COVID, and other illnesses are not introduced into our buildings. Vaccines are free or low cost through the Dallas County Health Dept. and are the most effective way to prevent the spread of illness. Please take advantage of available resources and follow the guidance of the local health departments and the CDC to ensure the health and safety of your family and our school.
