On Thursday, May 7th FMS had two teams compete at the Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament held at the University of Montana. The Bowl was hosted and managed by former Frenchtown teacher, Merle Johnston. The students had many celebrity sightings, as most of the readers and score keepers were retired Frenchtown teachers. Seeing so many familiar faces made the day even more enjoyable.
The 8th grade team (Laurel Krause, Katie Lewis, Hannah McMillan, and Madilyn Russell) took 3rd place at the event. And, the 7th grade team (Ellyn Lewis, Ellie Langaunet, Aleah Knight, Kaydence White, and Tru Peters) took 5th place. The girls all enjoyed ringing their buzzers and answering questions about math, mythology, Mark Twain, and the Mandalorian; just to name a few of the topics. It was great mental workout and everyone had a lot of fun representing Frenchtown Middle School.

MS TRACK MEET RESULTS (4-28) -- The results from the track meet yesterday can be found on athletic.net or use this link: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/421169/results. We are proud of the many great results our athletes had yesterday and how well they represented Frenchtown Middle School. We want to recognize two athletes who broke team records: Bailey Corette in the 7th boys 800 m run and Billy Corette in the 8th boys javelin. Congratulations!
Great job 4th grade students for reading 1,000 chapter books this year! Mr. Devins is holding up his end of the bargain by dyeing his hair purple, wearing a tutu and spending the night on the Intermediate School roof.
6th grade students had an amazing opportunity to participate in a makerspace activity. A makerspace is an area where students can use high tech to no tech materials to create, explore, and learn. This activity, along with the materials, was brought to us by Nick Wethington and Seisen Eyer. Nick and Seisen currently work at spectrUM, a hands-on science museum in Missoula. Frenchtown Middle School 6th graders were fortunate to have them come in due to our school belonging to a cohort called Makingspaces, which is part of the Maker Ed Foundation’s Making Spaces initiative a 30 month project funded by ATG/Cognizant’s Making the Future initiative. This cohort is designed to help inform and support teachers in making connections between participating schools to share best practices and professional development on a national scale.
Our students are doing an amazing job recording their Spring Concerts K-5. Thank you teachers and staff for making this happen! More details to come...

6th Grade Science Circus Information
I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying Spring! I just wanted to touch base with you, if your child hasn't, about the Science Circus. At this point, kids should have their topic, research, and hypothesis done. Upcoming due dates include: Materials and Procedures- April 23rd and Data and Analysis- April 30.
In short, your child should be putting together the materials and procedures to be conducting their experiments in the next two weeks. We have passed out information for them to record these on and examples of how to help. All the assignments are available to be filled in electronically on Google Classroom. The following site also provides good examples and can help. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science-projects
We don't have enough time or resources to do all the work at school so any and all help outside of it is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will keep you updated on due dates. The final presentations at school will begin on Monday, May17th.
-Mr. Robbins
