Geography Bee Draws a Crowd

Published by Mr. Brennan under Student Activities

Contestants 3FHMS hosted the 4-8 Geography Bee today in the eighth grade team room. Students from Four Peaks and FHMS competed to earn a spot as the district representative at the next level. The final two contenstants standing at the end were Iggy Macaluso, grade 5, and Quinn Amick, grade 6. Iggy managed to answer the all-important final question to earn first place honors and to be crowned (well, medaled, actually) as the 2009 FHUSD Geography Bee champion. FHMS teachers, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Spaeth served as organizers and moderators for the event.

Students faced challenging questions on cities, rivers, states, countries, landforms, and people from around the globe. Way to go Iggy and Quinn. You withstood the challenge from your student peers as well as from students one or two years ahead of you, and you prevailed!Finalists

Champion Iggy

Ambassadors Bring Positive Message

Published by Mr. Brennan under Student Activities

The Harlem Ambassadors testified to a “stay in school, stay off drugs” lifestyle during a 60-minute presentation to FHMS students on Feb. 26. The Ambassadors visited FHMS compliments of Four Peaks Rotary.

The Ambassadors travel all around the world sharing their individual stories of triumph over adversity. Each Ambassador spoke to the FHMS student body assempbled in the gym during the assembly.

FHMS seventh grader Cody Dunham was honored to receive a personalized jersey and tickets to the game for coming up with the FH team name: Desert Dunkers.

Jesse, the “tour manager” explained that in order to be a member of the troupe, each Ambassador must already have a college degree, or be in the process of earning a degree, AND each member must be drug free. Jesse told students not to let anyone deter them from their dreams.

Each Ambassador spoke to students for a few minutes to deliver messages such as:

Love your parents! Stay in school! Surround yourself with positive peers! Follow your dreams! If you believe it, you can achieve it! Get addicted to something positive! Stick with your dream even though you may face failure!

The Ambassadors faced (and defeated) a team of Fountain Hills dignitaries at a game in the FHHS gym on the evening of Feb. 26. FHMS is proud to have been a part of the Harlem Ambassadors’ visit to FH!

Midnight Madness Goes Bowling

Published by Mr. Brennan under Student Activities

The Marciopa County Sheriff Office program Midnight Madness doesn’t really happen at midnight, and it’s really not so mad. It’s a community program designed to give Fountain Hills kids an opportunity to be involved in healthy, fun activities while working with good adult role models and mentors.

On Jan. 23, Deputy Jill Ochsner, Mrs. Goodell, Mrs. Beck, and Mr. Brennan led a group of FH youth to Via LInda Lanes for an evening of bowling, pizza, and fun.

One Midnight Madness event is planned each month. Keep your eye on the FHMS scrolling announcements for information about next month’s event!
