Fennimore Community Schools

A peek inside Mrs. Bailey's AP Chemistry class today! Students worked through a titration lab — a hands-on way to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base. The goal is to add the titrant drop by drop until they hit the equivalence point, marked by that perfect hint of light pink from a pH indicator. It's always impressive to see their focus, precision, and a little bit of chemistry magic in action! #NewsFromTheClassroom #EAGLEPride

Schools will be dismissed at 2:00 today due to impending weather. All after school activities are cancelled for tonight. #fcs

Mr. Carl's Phyaics students explored the Law of Conservation of Energy today by investigating why balls never bounce back to their original height - and where the "lost" energy really goes. A quick, hands-on look at energy in action!

Students rotated through hands-on learning activities and even diagnosed three “patients.” A huge shout-out to Grant Regional Health Center for donating all the hospital gear—it truly made their day! #fes #EaglesSoar

Some of our 5th grade students attended a leadership workshop at CESA 3 earlier this week with facilitators Brian Kenney and Rose Cutting. Throughout the day, they took part in fun, hands-on team-building activities, solved challenges together, and strengthened their communication and leadership skills. It was a great day of learning and laughter—students returned feeling more connected, confident, and ready to take on new challenges! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week’s Class of the Week is Mrs. Gunderson’s Mon/Wed 4K Class! It’s a wonderful and busy time of year in 4K. Students just wrapped up their Fall unit and had a blast learning about the letter B, the color brown, turkeys, and bears. They created bear puppets and acted out Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They also learned Hickory, Dickory, Dock and played fun mouse-themed games. And of course—those adorable turkey hats they made for Thanksgiving were a big hit! Next up: getting ready for the Christmas season! Keep up the great work 4K friends! #fes #EaglesSoar
