Dear Farwell Area Schools Family,
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carrie Forfinski, a Farwell Area
Schools First Grade Teacher. Carrie lost her battle with cancer on February 8, 2025. Carrie
has touched the lives of many in our community and her loss will be felt by all.
The Farwell Area Schools will have counselors available on Monday to support students and staff in the grieving process.
The family is planning on services to take place at the Stephenson-Wyman Funeral home in Farwell.
Visitation will be Thursday 2-4 and 6-8. The funeral will be Friday at 11:00.
This is an important time for you to speak to your children. Often families use a time like this to
reinforce their own personal spiritual values. It is also important to reassure your children that you are okay and that you are taking good care of yourself. Also, your children need to know that you have planned for someone to give them a place to live and care for them, in case something should ever happen to you. We have talked with our students today and encouraged them to talk with you. if they have questions and concerns. We also let them know that there are people at school who care about them and are willing to listen.
We have loaded some resources for parents to our website to support you during this difficult time.
Please feel free to call if there is any other way we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Steve Scoville
FAS Superintendent

Update on School Threats
The High School Robotics Team will be doing an Apparel Order for Robotics hoodies, shirts & hats.

Money and order forms are due back by Valentine’s Day and should be dropped back off to any of the 4 offices. Orders will be delivered by March 6th. That's just in time to be able to wear the apparel while the Robotics Team is at their first competition in Mt. Pleasant. More details to come!
Our school does a great deal to our students’ education and activities, but our needs always outpace our funding and we are hoping we get your support. Please consider participating in this fundraiser so we can provide your students with the experiences they deserve.
