FES Goes BLUE! 💙
Fennimore Elementary went BLUE yesterday in recognition of World Day of Bullying Prevention. Wearing blue is a simple way to show support for bullying prevention and remind everyone that kindness and respect matter.
Be kind. Be respectful. Be an upstander.
Together, small acts of kindness can make a big difference in making FES a place where everyone feels safe, included, and valued. #EaglesSoar #FES

Stripes for Shane 🤍
If you know Mr. Shane Kieler, you know the striped shirt has long been his signature look for school picture day. Today, Fennimore staff followed Highland Community Schools’ lead and wore our own stripes in support of Shane as he enters another round of radiation in his courageous battle against cancer.
Many of our staff members were missing from the photo, but the love and support for Shane is strong throughout all of FCS. We’re with you, Mr. Kieler. Keep fighting.

Mrs. Bunn's 5th graders recently filled their marble jar and chose outside games as a class for their reward. They enjoyed a Rock, Paper, Scissors Race and a Moving Human Chain Race. It was a fantastic way to celebrate their hard work and get some fresh air! #fes #EaglesSoar

Way to go, Eagles! #fes #EaglesSoar

🎭 A Day at the Theatre!
The Fennimore High School senior class traveled to American Players Theatre in Spring Green on Oct. 1, where they enjoyed a performance of "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare.
It was a great opportunity for students to experience Shakespeare live on stage and enjoy a day of theatre outside the classroom!

The first teacher challenge of the year took place at last Friday's PBIS Assembly and this challenge put some serious chopstick skills to the test! Teachers had to use one hand and chopsticks to move pom-poms from one bowl to another—and it was a close one!
So close, in fact, that two teachers tied with an impressive 42 pom-poms! A rock-paper-scissors showdown was needed to break the tie, and the winner was...Mrs. Rosemeyer!
Way to go, Mrs. Rosemeyer! And a big shout-out to everyone who joined in on the fun! #fes #PBIS #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Fifrick's 1st Grade Class. Mrs. Fifrick's class has started the year off with some hard work! In reading, students have reviewed all of the letter sounds. They are now working on reading cvc words, while also being introduced to words with digraphs sh, ch, and th. They recently started their first class reader, Snap Shots. Students are excited to see how the story unfolds. In math, these first graders have been focusing on addition to 10. They have discussed number sentences, addends, sums, and even missing parts! Their big focus is to use the addition strategy of starting with the bigger number and then counting on to get to the whole. Mrs. Fifrick is so proud of the effort they are putting into their work everyday, and she can't wait to see the progress they will make. Keep up the great work 1st grade friends! #fes #EaglesSoar
