Students must sign up in advance of each meeting day and sign-up sheets are posted in the cafeteria. Class size is limited to 22 students Tuesdays & Thursdays and the extracurricular fee is not required. Sponsors: Mrs. Marenah & Ms. Kozma
Math On Call: "Hello. Hello. Is anyone out there? I need help. You see, I have this math problem that I can't figure out." If this has ever happened to you, then come to Math on Call after school to get a jump on nightly homework, ask questions, and even work with a friend. Math On Call is open to all FMS math students on a walk-in basis. Sponsor: Mrs. Hanlon every Tuesday & Mrs. Green every other Wednesday (schedule will be posted)
Leo Club: Students with an interest in community service are welcome. The Lions Club established the club in an effort to bring youth into community service through their school.

Tuesdays, Sponsors: Ms. Mylonas & Mrs. Orzel,
School Newspaper: For students interested in writing and reporting. Students should be able to accept an assignment and complete it within a time frame.

Articles and graphics are assembled in a printed newspaper each marking period and distributed to the student body. Wednesdays, Sponsor: Mrs. Rose, room 3
STEP Team: Step is a combination of organized dancing, stomping, and clapping to a rhythm. Step helps students to develop new communication skills, patience, coordination, and a strong discipline for performing. Students also learn the importance of teamwork.

Sponsor: Ms. Butler, Thursdays, cafeteria

Spring Play: The spring play will occur at the end of April. Auditions will be in December, and rehearsals will run from December up through performances.
