Farwell Cross Country will be hosting a food pantry drive for Good Samaritans Ministry. The directors of this ministry are Ken and Marilyn Vandrick, who graciously allowed us to use their property to host JPC #1. Ken and Marilyn’s ministry provides non perishable food for kids and families in need of extra support. They also offer free academic tutoring services to students. Good Samaritans Ministry is located in downtown Farwell. Donations may be taken to the FHS library.
Thank you for your support in our effort.
Congratulations to all of our Middle School Students of Character!
Reminder! The Blood Drive is being held on Monday, October 23rd. Schedule an appointment if you are interested!
Once in a High School career can you experience a HOME cross-country meet, be sure to mark your calendars...Wednesday, September 20th at Pleasant Meadows on M 115.
Farwell Cross Country will be hosting a home meet next week. Ken and Marilyn Vandrick of Good Samaritan Ministry and Pleasant Meadows Golf Course have graciously allowed us to use their beautiful property. If you have never experienced the excitement and positive energy of a cross country meet, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! Bring out your younger children that may have future passions for running and allow them to catch the running bug. The cross team would love all the support they can get from the community, the student body and fellow athletic teams. The varsity girls team will run first at 4:30pm, followed by varsity boys at 5:00pm and middle school at 5:30pm.
If you have an interest in volunteering your help during these time frames, please reach out to sbell@farwellschools.net. It takes a small army to successfully run a cross country meet, we will be able to put you to work!

Farwell Middle Schools Homecoming Spirit!
Hello Eagle students, fans, and alumni! We are all excited about our FHS 2023 Homecoming game and parade tomorrow against Coleman. Our staff and administration is looking forward to all the activities and excitement. Our homecoming advisors are ready for the 4:00 parade starting at the school and ending at the KLP practice football field. Our football team has been preparing for this 7:00 kickoff all week and they are definitely ready to put on a show for all of our Farwell community!
Along with this, we want to make sure that our football games are an exciting and safe area for everyone. As safety is always our number one priority we are only permitting middle school students and younger into games with an adult guardian. Additionally, we are expecting all spectators to come watch the game from the bleachers. We are encouraging all to support our Farwell team and to be loud and excited in the bleacher area as they cheer on our Eagles! With staff managing the event, we do not provide supervision under or behind the bleachers for students to group up or play tag and football. This has created safety and liability issues as well as injuries.
We are hoping to have our Farwell community all come together, cheer on our varsity football team from the stands and create a real home-field advantage for our Eagles! Hope to see everyone out supporting our FHS football team and enjoying all the Homecoming 2023 events.

Warm and sunny a beautiful day for the local annual Labor Day Parade. We had our Farwell band and some of our FAS staff in attendance to show our support in the community. Farwell Teachers and the Farwell Marching Band continue a long-standing tradition of being a part of the Labor Day Celebrations.
Middle School Homecoming Spirit Week! Homecoming is next week! Students will dress up September 5th-8th!
