🌟 FMIS December Character Assembly! 🌟 This month, we celebrated students who exemplify Thinking Win-Win and Respect—two habits that help us learn, lead, and lift one another every day. 🤝✨ Congratulations to our December Character Students: Carter White, Sullivan Blakemore, Brinley Hibbard, Kyler Davis, and Giah Valencia We were honored to welcome Coach Buck Bing, VHS Dean of Students and Vilonia Eagle Football Defensive Coordinator, as our special guest. Coach Bing shared an inspiring message about striving for collective success and choosing actions that help everyone win—on the field and in the classroom. 🏈🔥 Students, teachers, and Coach Bing then faced off in the Win-Win Wobble Challenge! 🎯 Teams worked together to move a wiffle ball across a set distance using a paper plate suspended by yarn. With each person holding a piece of the yarn, teams had to communicate clearly, move with purpose, and support one another to keep the ball balanced. When the ball dropped, teams regrouped and strategized—showing exactly what Think Win-Win looks like in action. After an exciting and cooperative competition, Fourth Grade rose to the top and took home the victory! 🏆🙌 Check out the photos below to see teamwork, balance, and lots of December energy in action! 📸 #frankmitchellintermediateschool #fmislevelup #engageencourageempower

📝✨ FMIS Sixth Grade Detectives at Work! ✨📝

Our sixth grade literacy classes have jumped into argumentative writing with a fascinating mystery — the death of King Tut! 👑🗺️

Students are investigating clues, analyzing evidence, and building strong arguments to support their own theories about how King Tut may have died. It’s been incredible watching them think critically, cite evidence, and debate their ideas like true historians and writers!

We love seeing our students so engaged, curious, and excited about learning! 🔍📚💬

Great job, sixth graders! Keep digging for the truth! 👏👏
