**UPDATE ON FRIDAY, JAN 8** As you know, no snow fell last night, and schools will open on time today!

Whenever I hear about bomb threats at high schools I envision two sophomores thinking it would be fun to get out of that Spanish test they didn’t study for, hovering around a phone, attempting to sound manly while claiming they planted a bomb.
Not cool, guys.
Fortunately, smarter heads than mine prevail at FMHS, and as of [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad that school is in session. I feel like I have gotten more done in the past five school days than I did the entire summer! I also feel like the days go by much faster without my children constantly hovering, asking what we’re going [...]
