Jingle Bell Bash hosted by SFHS FCCLA


In Mr. Nuss's 5th grade science class, students learned the order of the planets and how big The Solar System is by creating a model in the multipurpose room. The students also used math skills as they had to round numbers and use a scale to measure how many miles each planet is from the Sun.





Thank you to the SFHS Hope Squad members who volunteered to eat lunch with Durant students last week! Students could choose to eat lunch with a high school student as their Cougar Way Incentive for positive behavior. It is awesome to see how much some of our younger students look up to our older students. Go Cougars!

FES had its November Cougar Way Assembly today. In the skit, Dorothy decided to be RESPECTFUL and help Scarecrow with her math problems. Then, Dorothy started reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book from her book box. Dorothy and Scarecrow both got the idea to go to Emerald City and ask the Wizard for Dorothy's ruby red shoes back and a math brain for Scarecrow. On their way in the dark forest, the Wicked Witch came out and threw fire flames at Scarecrow. The Wicked Witch showed Dorothy that she was the one who stole her shoes and said now she wanted her little dog, too! The Wicked Witch started chasing Dorothy and Scarecrow trying to steal Toto. They found a hiding place, and the skit ended with the Wicked Witch saying, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!" We discussed recess scenarios and how to show respect to our peers. We also celebrated November birthdays and Star Cougars.

Congratulations to our November Star Cougars at FES! You make us PROUD! Keep showing the Cougar Way every day!


SFHS Staff had a little Thanksgiving fun this week!
