FES has been focusing on the RESPECT pillar this month. In the skit today at the Cougar Way Assembly, Scarecrow said she felt like she didn't have a brain when it came to math class. The Bad Witches were making fun of Scarecrow since she didn't know how to do the math problem. The Good Witches were telling Dorothy to be respectful and help Scarecrow. Then, the witches remembered that it was Halloween, so they performed a Witches' Dance.The paras dressed as the Yellow Brick Road. We also celebrated October birthdays.
FES had its October Cougar Way Assembly today. There was a Halloween Parade where students had the opportunity to strike a pose on a stage with a spotlight to show off their Halloween costumes. Mrs. Harkrader modeled how to do it.
The Preschool classes at FES walked through each classroom to show off their costumes today. FES wishes everyone a SAFE and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Water Rocks! from IA State came to Mrs. Rucker’s 7th and 8th grade classes today and presented in Pollinators. Students learned the importance of bees, wasps, birds, butterflies and others in food production.

Thank you to Reicks View Farms for coming into the 5th grade agricultural studies class today to educate the students about pig farming. The students learned all about the life cycle of a pig, nutrients in pork, cuts of pork, and by-products of pigs. The students were able to pet the pig and got to enjoy a pork stick as a snack!

FES third-graders studied the three branches of government and our Constitution. In learning about the voting process, they had a mock presidential election. They invited second grade and fourth grade to also vote. The results were as follows...Donald Trump 45 and Kamala Harris 17. Mrs. Boltz told all who came to vote, "No matter who wins or who we vote for, we all still RESPECT each other afterwards." Great advice for all of us...(cue I'm Proud to be an American music). This was also a good tie in to the RESPECT character pillar that we are focusing on this month.
