#SchoolPride #DanceTeam #StudentAthletes #GoEagles

Last week a team of 4th grade students tested their mental math and problem solving skills while competing with students from surrounding schools in a Math 24 competition at CESA 3. Great job 4th graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

​This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Peterson's Kindergarten Class. If you've talked to a student from her class recently, they probably told you how much they've been learning! They've been busy reading and writing words, (if you see one of them soon - ask them to write a word for you like jet, hop, or red)! They also recently finished their math unit on teen numbers. Mrs. Peterson says her class is full of kind, hard working friends and she is excited to work on new skills after winter break. Keep up the great work 5K friends!
