Student Spotlight!
We are so proud of our students who participated in the One8 Student Solve event! Through collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, they tackled real-world challenges and showcased their problem-solving skills. Experiences like these empower students to think boldly, work as a team, and see themselves as innovators. Way to represent our school community! 👏✨#One8StudentSolve #StudentSuccess #FutureReady #ProudMoment #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

Our students were hard at work today diving into the Investigating History and Democratic Knowledge Project curriculums. From analyzing primary sources to discussing big questions about citizenship and community, the room was buzzing with curiosity and thoughtful collaboration. We love seeing students think critically, ask bold questions, and make meaningful connections to the world around them! #InvestigatingHistory #DKP #ActiveLearning #StudentEngagement #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

🎵 Music Meets Vocabulary! 🎶

Our middle school musicians hit all the right notes at the elementary school’s Vocabulary Parade! As creative costumes and clever words filled the outside air, the band added an extra spark of excitement with their lively performance.

It was a joyful celebration of learning, creativity, and connection , where words and music came together to make one unforgettable day! 💚📚🥁

It was Flannel Friday at Ford and the hallways were full of cozy colors and patterns. Among the sea of plaid, one pair stood out , a mom and daughter duo who showed up in matching white and black flannel shirts.

They laughed as students pointed out their twinning outfits, proudly showing that school spirit runs in the family. For them, it wasn’t just about the matching shirts, it was about sharing a moment, starting the day with smiles, and showing support for their school community together.

It was a simple reminder that sometimes, the best school memories are made when families join in the fun. Don’t miss the next theme, TV Character Day (World Television Day) on November 21. #FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh
