Our FES 4K friends got into the Halloween spirit by carving pumpkins during class! 🎃 Students had an important job: separating the pumpkin “guts” from the seeds so the seeds could be enjoyed later during their Halloween party. A little pumpkin mess made for lots of Halloween fun! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Albaugh's 2nd Grade Class. These second graders have been busy building their reading and math skills! In Reading, they are learning to decode words with the /oo/ sound, reviewing familiar tricky words, and learning new ones. Through Bedtime Tales, they are also exploring fictional narratives and practicing how to plan and draft their own stories. In Math, students are exploring different addition strategies and solving both one-step and two-step problems. Keep up the great work 2nd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

Tomorrow is the final day of Red Ribbon Week! Say boo to drugs! Students can show off their Halloween spirit by dressing up in their favorite costumes.

A few reminders:
🎃Students should bring their costumes to school and change into them after lunch, unless told different by the homeroom teacher.
🎃Please make sure costumes are school-appropriate - no toy weapons permitted.

Let’s finish Red Ribbon Week with some spooky fun! #fes #EaglesSoar

Based on a suggestion from friends, Wally Byrne, special education teacher at Fennimore Elementary School, has passed along “Finn’s Rule” school bus safety information cards to Fennimore Community School District bus drivers, safety leaders and teaching staff.

“Finn’s Rule” safety card came about due to tragic circumstances. 5-year-old Finn Katona, died on Jan. 2, 2025, after falling and being run over by a school bus during a routine bus transfer in the school parking lot of Silver Spring Intermediate School in Sussex.

In effort to help make sure something like else would never happen to another family, Finn’s parent’s, Ally Katona and Zach Katona, worked with the School Bus Safety Company, a school bus training facility, to provide school districts with the “Finn’s Rule” laminated cards.

Over 130,000 laminated reminder cards featuring Finn’s first-day-of-school photo (in his Captain America t-shirt) and danger zone diagrams are currently being distributed to school bus drivers nationwide.

The cards remind bus drivers to strictly check bus danger zones (blind spots around the vehicle), count children, and exercise heightened caution before pulling away, particularly during high-risk student loading, unloading, and transfer times.

Byrne, who also is on bus duty at the elementary school, recently received the “Finn’s Rule” cards and will be distributing those throughout the school district.
Additionally, through the School Bus Safety Company, Fennimore School bus drivers, staff, etc., will have access to updated safety training via free webinars.

Apply for your own cards here ➡️ https://schoolbussafetyco.com/finns-rule-information-cards/

Let's all work together to prevent such future tragedies.
