Happy Assistant Principal's Day!

Your hard work and commitment don’t go unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do!
Fennimore FBLA showed up at the State Conference in a big way this year, placing 4th out of 81 schools in the Small Schools Division. Plus, 16 of the 33 members that attended placed in the top 10. Congrats to all the students for a great conference. Good luck to the 9 members competing at Nationals this summer. #FBLAPride
Congratulations to Josiah King for auditioning and earning a spot in the WI Music Association State Honors Band, and to Collin Birkelo for being selected as an alternate!
The WSMA State Honors Music Project is a prestigious, nationally recognized program that offers an incredible opportunity for young musicians. Selected students take part in an intensive four-day summer camp in June and showcase their talents with a performance in Madison during the Wisconsin State Music Conference in October.
Well done, Josiah and Collin—we’re proud of you! #WSMAHonors #MusicExcellence
Our 3rd graders wrapped up their biography unit in March. Each student chose a historical or influential figure, read their biography, wrote a report, and created a bottle buddy to represent them. Through this project, they not only learned about remarkable individuals but also gained valuable life skills like perseverance in reaching goals and understanding different perspectives. Fantastic work, 3rd graders! #FES #EaglesSoar

Before spring break, fourth grade students participated in a presentation on the Civil War. The Thyrens have been Civil War reenactors for 25 years and have provided presentations to schools for 13 years. This year Barbara and Kristina shared what life was like during the time of the Civil War (1861-1865).
The students learned a lot about the Civil War during the presentation. They learned that children only went to school for six years. Each family had one slate to share during the day. Children also made their own toys to play with. Women dressed in layers that included hoop skirts. They also had dresses for different things they did such as cooking or going to town. The women had many responsibilities in daily living including sewing all the clothes. Soldiers did various trainings at Camp Randall in Madison to be ready to serve in the war. The process of loading the rifle included using their teeth to open the gunpowder before pouring it into the barrel, then they packed it tight and put the bullet in. Soldiers put a bayonet on the end of their rifles and ran at the enemy to scare them off. The food they ate included hardtack, pork and anything else they could find. Thank You, Thyrens for sharing your knowledge with our students! #fes #EaglesSoar
Today, on Paraprofessionals Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible paraprofessionals at Fennimore Community Schools!
Your dedication, guidance, and unwavering support make a lasting impact on our students every day. Thank you for all that you do to inspire and uplift our school community!
This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Streeter's First Grade Class. These first graders have been working so hard. They have been learning lots of new sounds, vocabulary words, tricky words, and different ways to help them be successful in their reading and writing. In math, they have been learning to identify the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter, and the value of each coin. In CKLA Knowledge, they have been learning about some Ancient Civilizations and how different life was many, many years ago. Mrs. Streeter's students are so excited that spring has arrived and that means warmer weather and enjoying more fun times and continued learning with their classmates! It has been a wonderful year! Keep up the great work 1st graders!
