Fair Grove Middle School

FGS Homecoming Twin Day was popular at FGMS! We even had one set of "triplets"! Tomorrow is PJ Day...always a middle school favorite.

We had our 1st FGMS pep assembly last week which was organized and run by our AMAZING STUCO crew. As you can see, both our students and staff had a blast celebrating the first few weeks of school. Great job FGMS STUCO!

We want to thank our local FG Lions Club for their donation and continued support of FGMS. They have generously donated to our middle school activity account the last few years. This donation allows us to ensure that all middle school students are afforded the opportunity to participate in school activities, including our yearly field trips. THANK YOU LIONS CLUB!

FGMS is so lucky to have such an AMAZING 6th grade team! This group is the best around! "ONE SCHOOL-ONE TEAM-TOGETHER WE SOAR!"

Free Physicals for Incoming 7th–12th Grade Students – May 29th 8am-5pm Dear Fair Grove Families, We are pleased to announce that Fair Grove Schools will be offering FREE physicals provided by Mercy for all incoming 7th–12th grade students on Thursday, May 29th, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is a convenient opportunity for students participating in athletics or activities governed by MSHSAA to complete their required physicals before the upcoming school year. Important Reminder: Students must bring a completed MSHSAA Pre-Participation Physical Form with them to the appointment. This form must be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian prior to the physical. The form is available on the MSHSAA website or can be opened with the provided attachment. Important Procedure Update: Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, Fair Grove Schools will now require an annual physical for all student-athletes, rather than the current MSHSAA requirement of one every two years. This change reflects our district’s commitment to the safety, health, and overall well-being of our students. We believe that an annual physical provides a more accurate and timely picture of a student’s health and readiness for participation in school activities. We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of the free physical clinic on May 29th. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school office or athletic department. Sincerely, Damon Seiger, Athletic Director Fair Grove Schools https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ak1_nC0S8D7xnq_RMQhZMnf37CJ1g9VA/view?usp=sharing
