Our student-athletes had the opportunity to hear from keynote speaker Alex Erickson, a Darlington graduate, former Wisconsin Badger, and NFL player.
It was a great opportunity for our students to learn about leadership, teamwork, and the importance of setting goals while connecting with student-athletes from other SWAL schools.
Proud of our Golden Eagles!

Students applied for project jobs and will take on a variety of responsibilities, including surveying classmates about book preferences, weeding out classroom library books that are no longer useful, shelving new books, and completing other tasks throughout the project.
What an exciting opportunity to grow classroom and school library collections while building valuable teamwork, budgeting, and decision-making skills! #fes #EaglesSoar

October is Fire Prevention Month! Our kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade students had the opportunity last week to visit the fire station and learn about fire safety and the important work firefighters do to keep the community safe. From the exciting experience of sitting in a fire truck to getting a closer look at the equipment firefighters use, it was a great opportunity to learn from the local heroes who help protect the community! A big thank-you to the firefighters for taking the time to teach our students!#fes #EaglesSoar
