Farmington Central Junior High

Good Morning Farmers!  Today is Thursday August 17th!  It is the second day of school!

Happy Birthday to our fantastic Life Skills Teacher Mrs. Cosby!  We also want to wish a happy birthday to two seventh grade students!  Happy Birthday Carli Murphy and Claire Price!

Lunch for today: Nachos, Burrito, or Uncrustable

Congratulations to the boys baseball team for their first victory of the season last night!  The boys baseball team has a home game this afternoon at 4:15 against Dunlap Middle School.

Good luck to our softball team as they travel to East Peoria tonight for games beginning at 4:15.  The bus will leave at 2:30.

Good luck to our Cross Country team as they begin their season this afternoon with a meet at Dunlap Valley Middle School.  The bus will leave at 2:30.

Today is Picture Day at Farmington Central Jr. High School.  We will call students down when we are told it is our time for the pictures.  

If you have Ms. Kepler for Art, you will meet by the band room to be walked to class. Students will not need backpacks today. You will be returned to your locker before you leave today. 

Charles Schulz, the cartoonist behind Snoopy and Charlie Brown, once said “Like a ten speed bike, most of us have gears we do not use.”  What do you think this means?  You have hidden talents.  If we are able to learn to use all our gears, we can accomplish more in life while learning what our hidden talents are.

At this time, will you please rise for the pledge:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  

Farmer Four:

I am respectful

I am responsible

I am safe

I am prepared

Today is National “I love my feet day!”  Cows do not have feet.  They have hooves.  It is because they lac-tose.  

Have a great first day Farmers!!!
