Team 6-D will be going to the Pink Palace IMAX and to the Planetarium on Tuesday. We will return to school around 1 pm and will eat lunch once we return. We are all expecting to not only have a lot of fun but learn a lot as well!
Just a reminder that this week (March 2 – 6) is International Week here at Schilling Farms Middle School! Our country of focus this year is Chile. The children will be taking part in classroom activities all week long to learn more about Chile. Thursday, March 5, we will have our International Night Dinner here in the Schilling Farms dining hall. Authentic Chilean cuisine will be catered by Su Casa of Collierville. There will be live music, Chilean games, murals painted by our own SFMS Art Club, and much more! You don’t want to miss this special night so be sure to turn in your reservations no later than March 3. Your child should have already brought home the flier giving all the information with an envelope stapled to it so you can conveniently place your reservation and send in your payment. In case you did not receive this envelope, simply send your reservation in a plain envelope. Put your child’s name, homeroom teacher, grade, and the number of tickets you wish to purchase on the outside of the envelope and the money to cover the number of tickets you are purchasing inside the envelope. The cost is $7.50 per person. Have your child give the envelope to his/her homeroom teacher. It’s going to be a wonderful evening! We look forward to seeing you there!
The geometry project for the enriched classes was assigned on Thursday, February 19. A project sheet was given to every student which gives detailed directions on how the project is to be completed as well as exactly how it will be graded. All parents should see this project sheet before the due date because a parent or guardian is supposed to sign it. The signed sheet will be taken up at the same time as the project. The due date for the enriched geometry project is Thursday, March 5.
Parents and students please be aware that Kids Kan begins February 23 and continues all week! The most needed items are: peanut butter, canned meats and tuna, canned fruits and vegetables, baby food jars (packed separately), and canned 100% fruit juices. If you can send any non-perishable food items at all, they would be greatly appreciated! They have told us that ten Kool-aid packets will equal 1 can of food, one packet of Ramen noodles will equal one can of food, one full box of hot cocoa mix will equal one can of food, one full box of oatmeal will equal one can of food, and a commercial size can (minimum of 68 oz) will equal five cans of food.
Thank you so much for any and all help that you can give us during this week!
The geometry project for the regular math class was assigned last Thursday, February 12. The due date for this project is Thursday, February 26. Each of the children received a project sheet which gave specific directions on how the project is to be done as well as exactly how it will be graded. This project sheet is to be signed by a parent/guardian and turned in with the project on the due date. Hopefully, this will make it easy on everyone concerned.
I have finally found a way to get into my edublog site in order to update it. Not that it seemed to want me to….no, I had to find a roundabout “back” door so to speak. The long and short of it, however, is that I can now get into my site to update it!
As before, the homework will be on the sidebar pages entitled Regular Homework and Enriched Homework. Hopefully these will help you should you need to find out what homework is. It’s so great to be back!

Thursday, September 18, is going to be a very exciting day here at Schilling Farms Middle School. We will be having the dinner (I hope you have already sent in your reservations and money!). If you have not yet sent in your reservation envelop along with the money, reservations will be accepted through Tuesday. Dinner will take place in the cafeteria beginning at 5:30.
The PTSA will be having their meeting this night also. It will take place in the cafeteria beginning at 6:30. If you are a PTSA member (and we hope you all are) please plan on joining us for this meeting.
The Book Fair will also be going on. You will want to be there to get some WONDERFUL books! The selection is great and so are the prices! You won’t want to miss out on this!
A Club Fair table will be set up to provide information about each of the clubs that are available here at Schilling Farms Middle. If all you want is information, that will be available. If your child already knows what club he/she would like to join, sign-up will also be possible.
Oh, and don’t forget to check out the silent auction. There are always some outstanding items to bid on there! It’s always so exciting to have the winning bid! All proceeds from the silent auction go to help the cheerleaders.
Then there will be the Open House which means you can come to your child’s classrooms and see examples of what the children have been doing thus far into the school year. We really hope you will be able to come and take part!
Parents and students, this is to remind you that the pattern project are due Monday. I know many of you have already completed it; however, I wanted to remind you to put it in a place where you will be sure to bring it to class with you on Monday. Have a great weekend!
