A big shoutout to our student teacher, Mr. Kephart, for winning today’s teacher challenge! He raced to flip 7 cups, each with an ornament on top, and landed every single one! Way to go, Mr. Kephart! #PBIS #fes #EaglesSoar

There’s a burst of holiday spirit in the Middle and High School Agriculture classroom. Students have been working on festive, hands-on projects that brighten up the season. Take a look at the wonderful creations they’ve finished.

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Kamps' 3rd grade Class. Mrs. Kamps' students have been working extra hard. They recently completed a unit on the human body systems and celebrated by becoming doctors, working on a variety of tasks. They also wrapped up their division unit. They are excited for the holiday season and are looking forward to their Winter Concert! Keep up the great work 3rd graders!

Reminder - Early Release today - Dec. 11th.

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

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
