🎶 What a fantastic day for our musicians! 🎶
All four of our musical groups represented us proudly at the Large Group Festival on May 6th in Boscobel—and we’re thrilled to share that every group earned an overall 1 rating! 🏆
At Large Group Festival, students perform their concert music in front of three adjudicators, who evaluate and score each performance before giving an overall rating. This achievement reflects the students’ dedication, preparation, and teamwork, along with their commitment to musical excellence.

Coming in for a landing! As part of their study of gravity, our 5th grade scientists tested different helicopter designs to discover which created the most air resistance as gravity pulled them toward the ground. Students experimented, observed, and compared results while learning how design changes can affect motion and speed. Hands-on science in action! #fes #EaglesSoar
Creativity was our PBIS Word of the Month for April, and our students certainly showed it in many different ways! Creativity is all about using your imagination, trying new ideas, solving problems, and thinking outside the box. Whether it was through artwork, writing, teamwork, classroom projects, or finding unique solutions, students across the school demonstrated what it means to be creative learners and leaders.
We had an incredible number of nominations this month, making it clear that creativity is shining brightly throughout our school. We are so proud of all of the students who were recognized for showing this important character trait each and every day! #fes #EaglesSoar

Third graders celebrated completing their Colonial America reading unit with a field trip to Folklore Village. They explored a one-room schoolhouse, participated in old-fashioned activities and games, made their own wool balls, and even learned a few maypole dances. It was a memorable day that brought history to life and deepened their understanding of the Colonial era. #fes #EaglesSoar

This week our current 2nd graders are enjoying Chick Week, so we thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane!
Check out these throwback photos of our current 5th graders back when they were 2nd graders learning all about chicks and watching them hatch. It’s hard to believe how much they’ve grown in just a few short years! #ThrowbackThursday #FES #ChickWeek
