Hello FHLCS Middle School Families,
Mr. Bauer here.
Every year my family and friends get together and we have organic apple cider. We use only 2 ingredients-apples and pears. It tastes delicious and is a very fun activity. This year my family will be doing this on Saturday. Some of my past students have brought me apples to aid in the process. If your family has an apple tree and would like to send in a box of apples tomorrow, we will add it to our mix. The more apples you mix, the better the taste.
The real reason I wanted to write is because I always bring some in the next day to share. On Monday, I would like to let each child have 1 cup of cider. If you are uncomfortable or your child might have an allergy, will you please give me a quick email. I wont feel hurt or be mad.
I just love to share.
Most students are working on a Poster Project in Science class. They will be the "teacher" on Friday as they present their poster. I will save these until Grandparents' Day so they can see them as well.
Have a great day,
Mr. Bauer

Subject Update: Digital Literacy

A new class for our middle school this year is Digital Literacy.  The purpose of this course is helping the middle schoolers better understand the capabilities of the technology they have and how to use it responsibly.  We only have digital literacy once per week so each class is just getting started on the topics we will be discussing this year.

We started each class discussing digital citizenship and how to be safe and respectful online.  Just like how all of us had to be taught to say "please" and "thank you" and to look both ways when we cross the street, there are a set of rules in the digital online world to treat people respectfully and stay safe from harm.

Our next topic is discussing email etiquette and how to treat people respectfully through this form of communication that has become such an important part of everyday life.

Mr. P Parent Office Hours

In order to keep the lines of communication as open as possible this year, Mr. P will be holding Parent Office Hours in his classroom every Friday afternoon from 2:30-3:00 (this excludes days our Friday schedule changes, such as Grandparents Day).  This will start tomorrow, September 16th.  If you have something to talk about, a question you want answered, or just want to say hi, feel free to pop in!

Back to School NEON DANCE!

To celebrate the start of the new school year, we are having a middle school dance.  This will take place Friday, September 16th from 8:00-10:00 pm in the cafeteria.  The theme for the dance is NEON!  Hope everyone can make it!

Book Orders

Welcome to the World of Reading

Reading is one of the best ways to go on an adventure.  Through reading you can go to any country, real or imaginary, and do almost anything.  This year you will have the opportunity to purchase books from Scholastic Book Club every month.  You will receive book club flyers at the beginning of each month.  Once you have made your selection go to clubs.scholastic.com and enter the site with your e-mail address and password from last year.  If you are new to online orders simply follow the prompts.  The classroom code is: NDHGR.  

Every month the orders will be due on the 15th of the month.  If you miss that date you can still order your book selections, they will simply come the following month.

If you prefer to send in the order form with cash or check (made out to: Scholastic Book Clubs) please have it to me by the end of the school day on the 15th.  If your order is a gift then send me an e-mail explaining how I can get the books to you privately.

Your first order is due Thursday, Sept. 15

Enjoy the Adventure of Reading!
