The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Agriculture in the Classroom program held their 2025 essay contest for 4th and 5th grade. This year's theme was ‘A Wisconsin Tree and Me: How Trees Grow Food and Fiber.’ Fennimore Elementary submitted three entries. Annabelle Winkers (4th) and Ella Jackson (5th) were named the county winners. Annabelle wrote about maple trees and maple syrup production. Ella’s essay was about toilet paper being produced from wood. These essays will now compete at the district level with the possibility of being entered in the state contest. Congratulations and Good Luck Annabelle and Ella! #fes #EaglesSoar

The 5th grade Safety Patrol had an exciting trip to the Wisconsin Dells last week where they enjoyed a variety of fun activities. They took a scenic Upper Dells boat tour, exploring beautiful rock formations along the river. Afterward, they played mini golf, testing their skills and having a blast. The group also visited the Wisconsin Deer Petting Zoo, where they got up close with friendly deer. To finish the day, they experienced the adventure of Wizard Quest, solving puzzles and challenges together. It was a memorable day full of learning and fun! #fes #EaglesSoar

Our first graders had an unforgettable adventure visiting the Faherty Recycling Center and Smith Park! Can you believe the entire group weighed over 6,000 pounds? At the recycling center, students watched a dump truck unload materials, saw cardboard being baled, and even witnessed a ball get popped! They learned about what can be recycled and were amazed to discover that recycled materials can become jeans, decking, carpet, and even countertops. After the tour, the fun continued with lots of playtime at Smith Park. What a fun day of learning and laughter! #fes #EaglesSoar For more pictures please visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2024-25/1st-Grade-2024-25/Field-Trip

The 2nd graders recently visited Eagle Cave, the largest Onyx Cave in Wisconsin. They were able to explore the different rooms in the cave and learn about the history of the cave. Students also went on a gold nugget hunt and took a wagon ride through the campground.

On a cold and rainy day at the end of April, the 3rd graders took a fun and exciting field trip to Cave of the Mounds. Even though the weather outside was wet and chilly, the students were amazed by the underground world inside the cave. They learned about how stalactites hang from the ceiling and stalagmites grow from the ground, forming over thousands of years from dripping water. The cool, dark cave was full of interesting shapes and colors, and everyone had a great time exploring and learning something new about nature and geology. #fes #EaglesSoar For more pictures visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2024-25/3rd-Grade-2024-25/Cave-of-the-Mounds
