Dear Parents and Students,
Please be advised of the following important changes:
Parking:
Effective immediately, please do not park on the street east of Sumner-Fredericksburg Middle School.
Parking in this area is restricted due to being a loading zone for our Middle School students and our buses need to be able to park their to avoid having students load in the roadway
St. John's Bus Stop in Sumner:
Starting Thursday, November 21, 2024, the St. Johns bus stop in Sumner will be picked up on 2nd Street.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to St. Johns for their generous partnership in allowing us to utilize their parking lot. Their support is invaluable to our school community.
As the days are getting shorter and the mornings are getting darker, please remember to stay on the sidewalk and off the street. This is especially important for students walking to school, as it can be difficult for drivers to see pedestrians in low-light conditions.
As we utilize the St. John's parking lot, please remember to be good stewards and park responsibly. Additionally, we kindly remind all students to park their bikes in the designated bike rack.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Trey Myers
Transportation Director

In Mrs. Kenan's 6th grade math class, students dove into the world of measurement! Students explored standard units of length, volume, weight, and mass by measuring different objects in a fun, hands-on environment! This type of learning encourages critical thinking and helps students apply their math skills to real-world situations.

Today FES students made posters and cards for Mrs. Brunner because she has been on sick leave. Then, students and staff walked to her house to sing "You Are My Sunshine" while holding up their posters. Julie, we miss you so much, and this place isn't the same without you! We can't wait for your return!
During ENCORE yesterday, Durant students talked about responsibility! They also recognized this month's Super Cougars. Congratulations to the yellow den for having the most den points this month, and thank you all students for working hard to follow the Cougar Way!

SFMS 8th Grade Science
The Jensen Family gave the book, Just Like Caitlin, to every second-grader in the state of Iowa today. This book tells Caitlin Clark's story and includes many important life lessons like dreaming big, working hard, and valuing relationships over winning. Dickson and Luann Jensen are proud Iowans, business owners, coaches, parents, and grandparents. They are proud of Caitlin Clark and believe she is a great role model for all kids. Because of their love for children and desire to impact the next generation, they hope this book inspires kids to believe their future can be greater than they imagine. FES second-graders posed for a picture at the 3-point line to be just like Caitlin. They returned to their classroom, and Miss Henniges read the story to them.
Congratulations to our Cougar All-Conference volleyball players! Great job!!
The 6th Grade students have started a functional writing unit. Part of this unit is learning to write detailed instructions to complete a task. The students practiced this skill by learning how to do a paper clip magic trick.
