Fennimore Community Schools

Our FES Friday PBIS Assembly was full of laughs as students teamed up with their teachers for a silly challenge! The goal? Toss pom-poms and see how many could stick in a plate of whipped cream balanced on top of the teacher’s head! Teamwork, cheering, and lots of giggles filled the room as we celebrated positive behavior! Congrats to the winning team of Mrs. Bunn and Bradley Schmidt and thank you to all our amazing teachers and students for being good sports and making it a memorable assembly! #fes #PBIS #EaglesSoar

We’ve reached the halfway point of the school year 🙋

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Gunderson's Tues/Thurs 4K Class. Mrs. Gunderson's friends are so excited to be back after their winter break. They have been having a great time learning about the ocean, the letter Oo and the color blue! They had lots of fun with the Nursery Rhymes Little Boy Blue and Jack and Jill. They painted an enormous ocean and filled it with jellyfish, starfish, octopus, and whales. They loved learning about the animals of the ocean! Keep up the great work 4K friends! #fes #EaglesSoar
