In conjunction with our annual Arts in the Courtyard festival, the Fountain Hills Art League will once again donate 20% of its proceeds from its annual auction to FHMS arts programs. The auction is set for March 26, at the Fountain Hills Community Center. There is a social from 6-7 PM and the auction runs 7-9 PM.

The auction features a variety of original mixed media works under this year’s theme of “One Moment in Time.”

FHMS will hold the annual Staff vs. Students basketball game during a special assembly on March 10. Staff memebers will take on students players from this year’s Falcon basketball team. The game will begin at 1;40 in the gym.

This annual event features high flying action and athletic antics from our staff and student athletes. With Mr. Elliott as the ref and Mr. Brennan as the emcee, good times are assured for all.

Students who wish to attend the assembly must purchase a ticket by TODAY, March 9 during lunch. A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase in the office tomorrow. Students who do not attend the game will attend mandatory study hall with their team.

Fountain Hills Middle School will conduct placement testing for incoming sixth graders who are interested in participating in the FHMS Honors Program for the 2010-2011 school year.

Students received registration forms at Four Peaks last week.  There will be a make-up test scheduled in late April for any student who misses the March 11 date.
