Yesterday, students from Fennimore High School traveled to UW-Platteville for a field trip. At the Women in STEM Career Day, students attended four sessions where they learned more about different disciplines of STEM and participated in different activities related to these fields. At the beginning of the event, they all completed a Lego bridge challenge before splitting up to attend different activities. Highlights from the day included trying on different safety equipment in the Industrial Studies session, completing mini labs in the Chemistry session, solving different puzzles and learning about Mobius strips in the Math session, and building rubber band cars in the Mechanical Engineering session. It was a great day of STEM fun!

Friday mornings = fun at FES! At today's morning assembly we celebrated all the great things happening at FES including handing out the 'Golden Slippers' to Mrs. Timmerman's Class for their excellent behavior in the hallways. There was also a lot of excitement as we had our second teacher challenge of the year. In our first teacher challenge earlier this year, Mrs. Wienkes held onto the Mrs. Edna Crabapple trophy with yet another win in the Oreo cookie challenge. But today, she passed the trophy to Mrs. Schoenberg for her win in the candy corn straw challenge. Great work everyone! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Wienkes' 4th Grade Class. Fourth grade students in Mrs. Wienkes' class have had a great start to the school year! In reading they have been working hard to find the theme of different folktales. In math, they are busy remembering their multiplication facts so they can start multiplying bigger numbers. They also did a fantastic job on their health projects they just presented. This group of kids have blown me away with their transition into fourth grade! This year is going to be successful in many ways! Keep up the great work 4th graders! #EaglesSoar #fes

School bus transportation plays a critical role in the education of our students. This week and every week, we extend our gratitude to our Fennimore Community Schools' bus drivers who diligently guarantee the secure transportation of our students day in and day out.
National School Bus Safety Week serves as a reminder for students, parents, school staff, and the community to keep school bus safety in the forefront. As we continue to collaborate in ensuring our students' safety with regards to bus transportation, let's keep these tips and reminders in mind.
⚠️When waiting for the bus, students should stand at least 10 feet away from the edge of the road.
⚠️Crossing students should always walk in front of the bus, never behind it. Before crossing in front of the bus, students should wait for the driver's signal to cross.
⚠️Motorists are required by law to stop for stopped school buses that are displaying flashing red lights and a stop arm. Never pass a stopped school bus.
⚠️Teach your child the importance of behaving on the bus since any disruption can cause the bus driver to become distracted and could result in a crash.
⚠️Warn children that if they drop something getting on and off the bus, they should never pick it up. Instead, they should tell the driver.
Fennimore High School Band is proud to announce and congratulate Fennimore High School senior, Miriam Goldwasser, on her musical success. Last spring, Miriam auditioned for the Dubuque Youth Symphony Orchestra on clarinet and was chosen to become a member of the group. Her audition consisted of various scales, orchestral excerpts and a solo excerpt demonstrating her virtuosity. The Dubuque Youth Symphony Orchestra is the premier youth orchestra in the tri-state area, and it is a great honor to have one of our very own Fennimore students represented. Their first concert of the season will be at 5:00 PM on Sunday, October 29 at Jansen Hall in Clarke University in Dubuque.
Don't forget about early release tomorrow, Thursday, October 19th. #fcs #EaglesSoar
