✨ Our middle school students had an incredible learning experience visiting the planetarium at New Bedford High School! 🌍🌌

During this special educational program, students explored the wonders of space while engaging with New Bedford High School students and staff. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired through hands-on science and collaboration.

6th graders are studying "How are we connected to the patterns we see in the sky and space?" In this OpenSciEd unit, students begin observing the repeating biannual pattern of the Sun setting perfectly aligned between buildings in New York City along particular streets and then connecting, exploring, and trying to explain additional patterns in the sky that they and others have observed. Students draw on their own experiences and the stories of family or community members to brainstorm a list of patterns in the sky. #FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh

Today our middle schoolers traded screens for service at Gifts to Give and it turned into one of those days that sticks. 💛

At first, the warehouse felt huge and a little intimidating. But within minutes, they were sorting sneakers, folding brand-new jackets, and matching pajama into neat stacks.

Later, a box split open and supplies spilled everywherr, no big announcement, no adults directing, just a quick team huddle: “I’ll grab tape!” “I’ll sort!” “You make a new pile!” In less than a minute, the mess became a system.

By the end, tired arms, proud faces, and one simple takeaway: kindness looks a lot like showing up and doing the work.

So proud of these volunteers for making a real difference—one pair of shoes, one coat, one puzzle at a time. #Community #StudentVolunteers #GiftsToGive #MiddleSchoolProud #ServiceLearning #FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh

Today at Middle School Chess Club, one quiet 7th grader surprised everyone. After weeks of practicing openings and learning from older players, he finally pulled off his very first checkmate, against an 8th grader!

The whole room lit up with cheers, high-fives, and a proud smile that said it all. Moments like these are why we love this club: strategy, confidence, and a community that celebrates every victory, big or small. #FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh
