Principals Message
s always, it is hard to believe the first half of the school year is over and the second half has begun. Where does the time go? I always view this time as a checking point, a time for new beginnings for the individuals who need them regardless of what happened during the first ninety days of school. It is also a time to review personal goals to ensure we are on the right path and to make modifications as necessary. Parents, do you know what your childs academic goals are? Do you know their aspirations for life after high school? If not, please have this conversation with them. At FMRHS, I ask advisors to help our students create SMART goals. A SMART goal is: Strategic, Measurable, Attainable, Result-based, and Time sensitive. In addition to asking our students to create SMART goals, FOLLOW FMRHS ON twitter @ fmwildcats
I also ask the teachers to create them. During the next few weeks, I will be speaking with the staff to discuss the first semester; their personal SMART goals, and any modifications necessary to ensure a successful second half of the year. Together, we can help our youth attain realistic goals and be successful in the future. Thank you for taking the time to read about what is happening at Fall Mountain Regional High School.

JROTC
Hello and welcome back! Were going strong in the New Year and the new semester. We had a very successful and educational map reading unit in January where Cadets enjoyed and learned these new and useful skills. They also took part in learning about Civil Rights in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day by viewing the film Joe and Max. It was a real eye opener to the struggles that people had to face everyday in two different countries, and it was a crowd pleaser as well. The new semester is going strong and all second semester Cadets are really getting a taste of what JROTC is all about. We enjoy having them and hope that they will continue to be a part of the program in the future. This month we will be learning about the Crusades during our traditional and infamous Medieval Times project. Cadets will select a medieval topic for either an essay or PowerPoint presentation, and then present it to the class. They will also perform skits and sand tables with their squads. We look forward to the months that follow and until next time TRY, TRY, NEVER DIE!!! HOOAH!!! Written by Cadet Sergeant Holly OBrien Major John Cenney, Chair jcenney@sau60.org
