Pi Day!

Students were allowed to bring in their favorite pie to share and wear their “Pi” shirts. After hearing a mini lesson on circumference, students got to play a Pi-themed card game—AND—of course, EAT PIE!

Mrs. Swearingen

By Keith Attard

Mrs. Swearingen is our middle school math teacher. She has worked at FMCS for a total of 13 years. Her favorite part of working at FMCS is the support that she receives from the administration and parents. Mrs. Swearingen appreciates when parents stand behind the teachers, and everyone works together for what’s best for the kids. When I asked Mrs. Swearingen why she became a math teacher, she stated, “I love math, kids, and teaching, so they all three fit together.” Mrs. Swearingen enjoys teaching algebra the most because that’s when it “really starts getting fun.” She is looking forward to going on vacation to Seattle with her husband this summer.
Mrs. Swearingen recently announced that she will be retiring from teaching at the end of this school year. Thank you, Mrs. Swearingen, for being an awesome math teacher that we could count on for all these years. We will miss you, and we wish you the best in your retirement!
