PSA - Be prepared in case you need to act quickly.


Since it is the 100th birthday of Heart Challenge, FES students were encouraged to dress like 100-year-olds. Tate Meyer and Coy Brinkman did just that!



The 2nd through 4th grade classes participated in the Heart Challenge under the leadership of Mrs. Sorenson. FES students raised more than $2,700! Grace Rethamel and Easton Martin raised $500 or more each! Rylee Kolthoff, Charlotte Anderson, Myla Strempke, and Emrick Strempke all raised over $200 each! Some of these students got to put a pie in Mrs. Sorenson's face! All students who participated were put into a drawing, and Shay Kasemeier was the lucky winner to put a pie in Ms. Hoth's face! Thank you to all who participated in the Heart Challenge!











The preschool students at FES built leprechaun traps at home with their families and brought them to school. Today they tried to catch a leprechaun. When they left their classroom to mix up the Magic Powder that was left for them the leprechauns showed up in the classroom and made a huge mess! The leprechauns were nice and left each student a gold coin and necklace. We hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!











For caring buddies at Durant, 1B and 4A worked on a St. Patrick's Day glyph. When doing a glyph, you color a picture based on how you answer questions. For example, if they have ever chased a rainbow, they had to color the leprechaun's hat green. If they've never chased a rainbow, they would color the hat black.

Registration for future PreK students is now open for the 2024-2025 school year.
Children must be 4 years old by September 15, 2024, to participate in the program, and preschool will meet Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with morning and afternoon classes. Children who are 5 years old by September 15, 2024 will register for Kindergarten at a later time.
The first step in the district registration process is to fill out a form online at https://forms.gle/iwJRBbZidG5FsUz17. The Google link will put names on a list for the school and once the registration portal is open for Infinite Campus for next year, parents and guardians will be sent a link for online registration.
If there are questions, contact Fredericksburg Elementary at (563) 237-5364 or Durant Elementary at (563) 578-3354.

Special thanks to our HS Student Senate members for welcoming Durant students on High Five Friday!

Today three of our Sumner-Fredericksburg high school students participated in the 'LooCon IT Day at the Waterloo Career Center. Over 230 students participated in the event representing 29 schools.
The expert panel included six of the best Cyber professionals in Iowa! Nick Dideriksen from VGM Forbin, Todd Burzynski from UnityPoint, Samantha Dahlby from newbo.co, Trevor Kems an Iowa professional pen-tester, Tyler Coan from First Security Bank, and Brandon Blankenship from Pro-Circular. The panel spoke about a variety of topics and then answered questions from the students. In addition, Hawkeye Community College, Iowa State University, Indian Hills College, DMACC, UNI, and Kirkwood College all spoke to the students about their IT programs.
At the end of the day, the students competed in teams of 3-5 in a "Capture the Flag" event with the top 3 teams receiving prizes at the end. Sumner-Fredericksburg, with the addition of two Riceville students, placed 7th overall. Congratulations, Tyson Rochford, Mason Britt, and Hunter Nelson!!
