Dr. Riste Simnjanovski Signs Off

This was a GREAT year at FMS, thanks to all the parents, guardians, family members and especially the STUDENTS who made this year great!

We're off for 2 months...some more since Pink Slips were thrown out with the greatest of ease this year...but I'm sure most will be back (hopefully).

If you need to get a hold of Dr. Riste Simnjanovski, you can email him at: riste@verizon.net.

...and if you want to kick his butt on Mario Kart, you'll need to add him! Email him at: riste@verizon.net for his friend code for Wii.

Enjoy your summer!
