Good luck to our Fennimore High School juniors, Logan and Josiah, as they head to Badger Boys State this week at UW–Eau Claire!

Sponsored locally by American Legion Post #184 and Brechler-Lendosky Insurance, Badger Boys State is a prestigious leadership and civic education program that brings together students from across Wisconsin to create and operate their own city, county, and state governments. Participants gain hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, and civic engagement while building connections with peers from around the state.

We are proud of these students for earning this honor and know they will represent Fennimore High School well. Best of luck this week—we can't wait to hear about your experience! #FennimorePride #BadgerBoysState

Today, the Fennimore School District would like to wish the Belmont Braves and Mineral Point Pointers the very best of luck as they compete in their Wisconsin State Softball Tournament championship games!

While we may be rivals during the regular season, today we are cheering on our fellow Southwest Wisconsin programs as they represent our area on the state's biggest stage. Congratulations on outstanding seasons and on earning the opportunity to play for a championship.

Bring home some hardware, Braves and Pointers!

Fennimore Elementary School is grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the Toys for Tots Literacy Grant for the 25-26 school year! Through this generous program, every student received the opportunity to choose and take home a brand-new book of their own.

At the end of the school year, reading teachers transformed their classrooms into book 'stores,' giving students time to browse a variety of high-quality titles and select a book that matched their interests.

The Toys for Tots Literacy Program is dedicated to supporting academic success by providing children with direct access to books and educational resources that foster literacy skills and a lifelong love of reading. Since 2008, the program has distributed more than 63 million books to children across the country, including 2.8 million books in 2025 alone.

A sincere thank you to the Toys for Tots Literacy Program for helping put books into the hands of young readers and encouraging the joy of reading—one book at a time! #fes #EaglesSoar #toysfortotsliteracy

It's GAME DAY for Fennimore Baseball! We will play game 1 of sectionals today at 1:00 pm at Riverdale. Be prepared for cash admission of $7.00 at the gate. If we win, we will play another game later in the afternoon. Updates will be posted here!

Go Eagles! 🦅

Our summer school adventures started at the Madison Zoo today for our older students. See all the fun the had on our smug mug site: https://fcs.smugmug.com/2025-26-School-Year/Fennimore-Summer-School-2026/Madison-Zoo-Trip-Gr-4-12/Summer-School-2026-2

Throughout the school year, our 4th and 5th grade students continued building on the keyboarding skills they first learned in 3rd grade. Regular practice is the key to improving speed, accuracy, and confidence, and students worked throughout the year to strengthen these important skills.

All students made progress as they worked to improve their keyboarding abilities, and the students receiving awards demonstrated extra effort, dedication, and perseverance in reaching their goals. Congratulations to these students on their accomplishments and commitment to continued growth! #fes #EaglesSoar

Summer school week 1 starts tomorrow! Check out these slides to help you see everything that is going on each day and match this up to your child's schedule under Skyward Family Access.

Don't forget to send a sack lunch with your child if they are going on one of the all day field trips. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a water bottle might be a good idea too.

Each Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Ahnen will be at our elementary school library for story-time and book check-out. No registration is needed to participate!

Please let Kelly Ahnen know if your child will not be able to attend any of the classes they have registered for. This is especially important for the field trips so that the bus isn't waiting for someone not coming. You can send an email to ahnenk@fennimore.k12.wi.us to report absences or for any other questions you have!

Here's to another great summer of learning and fun! ☀️

Our 5th grade science students put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test during a STEM challenge, "Save Fred!" In this activity, students had to rescue Fred, a stranded gummy worm, after his boat capsized. Using only paper clips—no hands allowed—they worked together to flip the boat upright, get Fred safely inside, and place his gummy life preserver on him.

The challenge required communication, patience, and creative thinking. Every group successfully completed the mission, making it a fun and engaging way to practice STEM skills while working as a team! #fes #EaglesSoar
