First Friday

What is First Friday?

You may have heard your student mention “First Fridays” and you are wondering what that means.

Starting in October, the first Friday of each month is a school day for both elementary and secondary students. These days will be added days for our students with the elementary classes using this time for both added curriculum help as well as days to plan the “fun things,” such as field trips and class parties. For our secondary students, the day will be broken into two halves. For students who are needing to catch up on assignments or receive extra help, we will provide that to them in half day blocks. If students are all caught up on their work and their grades are in good standing, we will be providing them with extra experiences that they have been asking for.

This coming Friday our  Mrs. Rich will be doing a half day class on basic vehicle maintenance and home repair. Ms. Romine will be doing a half day class for students who want to learn about stage makeup and drama. Mrs. Cicrich will be putting on two half day classes for students who want to make a fall home decor project.

Some of the things on our radar to offer this year include:

  • A day trip to Winchester for fishing and basic wilderness survival skills.
  • Grocery budgeting and cooking a balanced meal.
  • Household budgeting.
  • Job interview skills and filling out a basic tax return.
  • The basics of sewing and mending.

If you click on the School Calendar link, towards the bottom of the page you will find our classic school calendar that was handed out at registration. You will see all of the First Friday days in green.
