7th grade Science students completed a Marshmallow Flight lab to further investigate Newton's Laws of Motion.





5th/6th graders in Mrs. Rucker's math intervention group competed in a Ball Run Challenge. They had to follow criteria and constraints while working to construct a track that a ping-pong ball could pass through. The challenge required them to try to keep the ball in their run for the longest time possible. There were a lot of creative designs and some really good results! Congrats to our winners- Kaylynn and Ava of team S.K.!









A huge congratulations to our SFMS 7th & 8th Grade Band on earning a Superior rating at the Middle School Large Group Contest which is the highest rating possible! These students have put in countless hours of practice, focus, and teamwork, and it truly paid off. We are so proud of their hard work and the way they represented our school!
Way to go, SFMS Band!

Come enjoy fairy tales as you've never experienced them before! These SF middle schoolers have taken their stage by storm and have concocted a chaotic, sarcastic, hilarious, and mostly kid-friendly dramatic production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon by Don Zolidis. We promise you've never heard tales quite like these, but we're pretty sure you'll have at least an "okay" time!
Shows on March 26th, 27th, and 28th at SFMS.
No refunds.....even if you have no idea what's going on. Most of the cast doesn't either!

Our seven, 5-8th grade Battle of the Books teams put their knowledge to the test today with a practice round as they gear up for competition in the upcoming weeks. These students are diving into some serious reading, with 5th graders tackling 25 books from the Iowa Children's Choice awards list, while our sixth through 8th graders read 15 books from the Iowa Teen Award list. Their focused teamwork and book smarts were on full display this morning!







We are so thankful for all of the students and vendors who have made our Health Fair such a success over the years!

A special shoutout to Tori Sorenson for organizing the event, and thank you to Ann Scroggins for the generous donation of prizes! We appreciate everyone who helps make this event so meaningful each year!

Itโs great to see students strengthening their writing while learning the value of constructive feedback and teamwork!
