Our 7th graders are showing Innovation by thinking creatively, trying new approaches, and working together to solve problems. Innovation isn’t always about inventing something brand new. It’s about asking, “How can we make this better?” and being willing to test ideas, learn from mistakes, and improve along the way. #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #AES #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsONEDistrict

Our 8th-grade students visited Old Rochester Regional High School for Step-Up Day, an exciting opportunity to learn more about life as a high school student and begin preparing for the transition ahead.
Students met teachers and staff, learned about academic programs and extracurricular opportunities, and got a glimpse of what awaits them in the fall. The experience helped build confidence, answer questions, and generate excitement for this important milestone.
We are proud of our students as they take this next step in their educational journey and look forward to seeing all they accomplish at ORR!
Best of luck to the Class of 2030 as they prepare for high school! #FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh
