Congratulations to the Girls 7th grade basketball team on being the champions at the Fulton County Tournament! There is a home game tonight against Wethersfield with games starting at 5 pm. 

Today we are running a 2:12 early dismissal schedule.  We are hoping that the bells are on for this schedule, but if they aren’t then please, move to the next class with the 2:12 dismissal schedule.  Around 2:15 today, we will have an all district assembly in the high school.

Attention Speechies! Contest is tomorrow!  If you are in Team Improv, you need to stay after school today for your memorized piece. Sign up sheets will be posted outside the teachers' classroom for your classroom performance practices.

Today is the start of the 2nd quarter!  It’s a new start!  Everyone has a clean slate!  I am currently working on a reward field trip to the Peoria Rivermen game in December.  The teachers and I will set some criteria for you to be able to attend.  These will include grades, no missing work, limited number of behavior referrals, etc.  We will let you know very soon what the criteria will be for this field trip, but starting today, if you have any in school or out of school suspensions, then we will not be taking you to the game.

New schedules today for health classes.  Please report to 2nd quarter health if it is on your schedule.

Farmington 5th/6th grade girls and boys basketball sign ups are Sunday, November 5th in the JH cafeteria from 1-3 pm.

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

A Koala walks into a restaurant and says "I'll have the minestrone."

The waitress brings it, the koala eats it quickly, then orders a bowl of chili.

The waitress brings it, the koala eats it quickly, then orders a bowl of lobster bisque.

The waitress brings it, the koala eats it quickly, then orders a bowl of gazpacho.

After a while the waitress says, "Wow, you must be hungry."

The koala answers, "No, I'm just a moresoupial."

Today is National Seafood Bisque Day!  

Have a great day Farmers!!!
