Throwback Thursday! Where are they now? This 1984 FTSD graduate is retired! So, with that said, what were some of Desiree Meagher’s highlights after graduating from Frenchtown? Well, she graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle for one. She has been married to her high school sweet heart Mark Meagher for 37 years! They have three amazing daughters, three great son-in-laws and six wonderful grandchildren. They are living their retirement years in their dream house on the Noxon Reservoir. What did Desiree love about her time in Frenchtown Schools? She loved the extra-curricular activities, basketball, cheerleading, drama, and the wonderful friends she made for life. Many of them she started in kindergarten with! Her advice for the current students at Frenchtown is to get involved in everything you can, don’t be afraid to fail or look silly. Every experience, good or not so good, will help prepare you for life. Thanks for participating Mrs. Meagher!
A student-organized and student-led 8th grade group, Book Club has grown quickly and creatively. Students meet regularly to share their favorite books, read in pairs or small groups, and have passionate debates about characters and plots. Meeting as a group allows students to spend time with other readers that they may not connect with throughout the regular school day. Between the library, the classroom, and settings out of this world, students share their time and their ideas to make Book Club happen.

Flashback Friday! Where are they now?! This 1999 FTSD graduate, Summer Edwards, is currently an Evaluation Coordinator at Pyramid Model Consortium. Some highlights of Summer’s experiences since graduating from FTSD include graduating from UNC Greensboro in Psychology! Summer then became a Director of Services for agencies supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health needs. Later, Summer transitioned into data analysis and professional project management in the nonprofit sector. She now works in the Early Childhood arena providing evaluation and database support to professionals all over the US from her home right here in Frenchtown! When asked about what she loved about Frenchtown, she replied, “So many things!” According to Summer, playing sports was a highlight and she reflects fondly on the many incredible teachers at FTSD, from grade school to high school. She says she will still talk about the amazing desserts the lunch team would make, and her kids laugh when she goes on and on about the chocolate cookies! Summer, what advice would you give the current students of Frenchtown? “Work hard and think big! Explore a wide range of interests and professions. Join a group, club or team to connect with like-minded people. Allow yourself to be challenged, lean into the uncomfortableness of not always knowing what is right. Listen to your teachers and take in as much wisdom as they are willing to offer you, which is A LOT! Be patient with yourself as you continue to grow and discover your passions.” Great advice for all of us. Thanks for participating Summer!

FMS 7th graders enjoyed a presentation from wildlife biologist Jody Tucker who works for the National Forest Service in Missoula. Ms. Tucker shared her field research with fishers in the Sierra Nevada and students were able to see first hand how ecology, limiting factors, carrying capacity and climate change are affecting the populations of these animals that are also found in our own area. Ms. Tucker shared research tools and techniques and explained how radio collars, trail cameras and genetic analysis are transforming wildlife research. This was a fun and informative wrap up of our Ecology Unit in 7th grade science. Thank you, Ms. Tucker, for taking time out of your week to come and share with us!! You may have inspired the next generation of biologists!
