Mid Michigan Community Action December 12th Winter Crafts with Friends!
Dear FAS Community,
I am deeply sorry for the comment that I posted the morning after the election. As the parent of a young child and as an educator, I know that my words and actions are closely watched by those around me, and I am fastidious about my behavior at all times because of this fact. I am ashamed that I let my emotions get the better of me in that moment. I am not that person. I understand that my actions may have broken your trust, and for that, I am truly sorry.
Those who know me, know my strength of character, and know the kind of person that I aspire to be in this world. I made an egregious error, one that will not happen again. I take full responsibility for my words and I am willing to reflect on this experience and learn from it, so that I can become a better person. I am committed to upholding the values and standards that I strive to live by.
I hope that you can find it within yourself to forgive me and my actions.
Thank you.

WINTER 2024 TRYOUT INFORMATION
We wanted to share this information regarding events that will take place on Veterans Day.
Volleyball District Games are this week with the first game starting tonight at 5:30PM!
Farwell Athletics is excited to host our first district since 2020! A few reminders for all MHSAA postseason events.
1. Student IDs will not give students free admission. Students must pay for a ticket to attend these games.
2. School passes will not work at these events. These include Golden Eagle passes and GoFan season passes
3. No cash will be accepted at the gate. MHSAA requires you to buy tickets ahead of time or use a credit card at the game. Our concession stand will be accepting cash.
We apologize for any inconvenience. These are the MHSAA regulations and these rules are above Farwell and our administration. We look forward to having everyone there tonight and through the week!
