FFMHS NHS and Rotary Club partner
Jessica Halsey, FFMHS NHS President, presents project support check to Tracy Copeland, Rotary Club President.
Fort Fairfield Middle High School (FFMHS) National Honor Society (NHS) members Colby Langner, Colby Giberson, Olivia Langner, Jessica Halsey (President), Caijsa Benson and Faculty Advisor Garrett Martin attended the club’s recent breakfast meeting. During the meeting Jessica, on the NHS’s behalf, presented a $100 check to Tracy Copeland, Club President. These funds will be passed on to the Fort Fairfield Elementary School (FFES) faculty/staff as part of the Rotary club’s warm winter clothing project for youngers at the FFES who might not otherwise have mittens, caps, gloves or the like.
This NHS and Rotary club partnership has its genesis at the November 2018 Rotary club meeting where Jessica and Colby Giberson, Rotary Spirit Student Award (RSSA) recipients (see "RSSA Sept-Oct 2018" ) first heard about the club’s FFES warm winter clothing project. Jessica and Colby introduced the project at a subsequent NHS meeting and the club felt that it would like to partner with the Rotary club in this project. Upon receiving a very enthusiastic welcome-to-the-project the NHS members presented their funds. These NHS funds together with the “Happy Dollars” raised during the Rotary club’s annual Christmas/New Year’s seasonal meeting held at FFMHS (see the "2018 Annual Christmas Program"), now brings the total project funding to $400.
The Fort Fairfield Rotary Club wishes to thank the FFMHS NHS members and faculty advisor for your desire to partner with our club in this project. Many more FFES youngsters will enjoy the winter with warm mittens, caps, gloves and the like thanks to your Service Above Self spirit.

2018 Annual Christmas Program
Mari-Jo Hedman, FFMHS Music Department, accepts "Happy Dollars" donation from club President, Tracy Copeland
The club held its annual Christmas/New Year’s seasonal meeting at the Fort Fairfield Middle/High School (FFMHS) recently. Rotarians are very happy at this time of year and raising $300 during “Happy Dollars” donated these funds to the Fort Fairfield Elementary School to purchase warm winter clothing for youngsters who might not otherwise have mittens, caps, gloves or the like. School staff being very much aware of needs administer the winter clothing program for the club. Mari-Jo Hedman, Music Department, accepted the donation on the school’s behalf from club President, Tracy Copeland. During the meeting a FFMHS choral group, under Mari-Jo’s direction, provided seasonal musical selections with club members joining in on several selections. The school’s cafeteria staff provided an excellent breakfast. Cliff Rhome, District 7810, Area 1, Assistant Governor (AG) and wife Debbie (both Limestone club Rotarians) together with Floyd Rockholt, former Area 1 AG and Presque Isle Rotary club member visited with us for the festivities.
The club wants to thank all these members who volunteered to provide seasonal selections at the meeting.
