Today was Grinch and Who-ville Day at FES. For the Christmas activity today, the Middle School TAG students came over and ate lunch and played at recess with our FES students. Garrytt Laabs read a Christmas story to all FES students after recess.
FES students did a FANTASTIC job last night at their Christmas program! Thank you to Mr. Jurgenson for all of his hard work making sure that our students were prepared to put on a great show! Thank you to all of the FES parents who helped supply a costume for their child. Thank you to the Preschool Team of Mrs. Schmitt, Mrs. Gloede, and Mrs. Krivachek for leading the preschool performance. To all of the FES students, we LOVED watching you perform!

SFHS Student-Athletes of the Week: Jamie Jones and Noah Henderson:
"Jamie Jones has been unstoppable with her growth and consistency this season. She has avenged several losses with domination over state qualifying and ranked opponents while earning herself a spot in the championship of every tournament thus far. Her tenacity, grit, and work ethic are keys to her success and inspirational to her teammates. Currently, Jamie holds a 14-4 record with 11 pins, she's ranked #8 in the state at 155 pounds. She's a true competitor, and the best is yet to come!" -Coach Jones
"Noah is a force to be reckoned with so far this season and is a leader on and off the mat for the Cougar wrestling team. Noah is currently 8-0 on the season including two wins over ranked wrestlers and won the Dan Guilford Invitational last Saturday at Monticello." -Coach Meyer

MS Families,
As winter weather approaches, we would like to provide you with information regarding Snow Days. If we experience a snow day next week, it will be made up on Monday, February 17th (Presidents' Day). After returning from winter break, the next two snow days will be normal snow days. Following these snow days, we will implement 5 At-Home Learning Days. If any additional snow days are necessary beyond these 7 days, they will be made up by extending the school year.
At-Home Learning Days packets are going home with your child today. They need to be put in a safe place at home. All work for 5 snow days are in this folder, as well as instructions, standards, and contact information. You will be notified via district notifications when At-Home Learning Days happen. Students will be able to communicate with staff members via Google Meet or email throughout the day to receive help. All work is graded. Students will have seven calendar days from that snow day to complete this work. All work will be posted on the school website. If you lose your packets (which we really hope doesn't happen), you will be able to reprint the work. Each class has their own work and it should be labeled by class and teacher.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your cooperation!
FES students earned their last Cougar Way Reward of 2024 today. The Cougar Code was "Big Screen." All students gathered in the gym to use our big screen for the first time. A huge thank you to Mrs. Throckmorton for using her Book Fair dollars to purchase this inflatable big screen for us to use for our Cougar Way Rewards. Thank you to Mrs. Throckmorton and Miss Henniges for all of their help setting up the technology needed to run this big screen.
