Principal's Message

Dear Fernwood Families, 

It was such a great week here at Fernwood Middle School! We spent the past few days celebrating the Week of Respect, and it was wonderful seeing our students focus on kindness, empathy, and making everyone feel included. The classroom conversations and student-led activities throughout the building really set a positive tone.

On top of that, our Boosterthon is still going strong! The excitement around the school has been amazing, and seeing our students rally together to support Fernwood has been a blast. Thank you so much for all the encouragement and pledges you’ve sent in so far, it really makes a huge difference for our kids.

Thank you for everything you do at home to keep our school community strong. I hope you all get a chance to relax and enjoy the weekend, and we'll see everyone on Monday!

Sincerely,

Frank Locantora
Principal

Student Achievement

Algebra Detectives

Mrs. Mosetti's Algebra students became math detectives during a murder mystery activity! Students wrote and solved equations to investigate six suspects’ alibis and determine which one didn’t add up. Their mission: solve the mystery of who “murdered” the EHT Eagle! Students had a great time putting their math and problem-solving skills to work.
