From Tom Ronning, FMRHS Principal – Lil

September 8, 2014

• Earlier today, our freshmen signed certificates and received green “Committed to Graduate” bands.
• FMRHS is further developing personalize learning plans for our students. This past summer eight staff members participated in 33 hours of professional development at a Next Generation Personalized Learning Institute to help with the process.
• A group of present and past FMRHS students from the club STAND (Students Take Action Now: Darfur) went to the Keene State College Cohen Center for Holocaust Studies on Wednesday, September 3, to witness Gov. Maggie Hassan sign a Genocide Awareness bill into legislation. NH is one of four states to have such a law. Several students have collected names for a petition to name the month of April Genocide Awareness month in New Hampshire. The hope is that this will encourage teachers and other agencies to talk about past and more importantly present genocides in an effort to bring an end to such human atrocities.
• For the first time in the school’s history, FMRHS has fielded a golf team and is competing in Division III of the NHIAA.
• Thank you to Target for the recent check to help our students be successful.
