This past Friday we had a great group of students spend time visiting with residents at Hillcrest Living, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they represented Sumner-Fredericksburg! It was great to see our students sitting down, having conversations, sharing stories, listening, laughing, and building connections with members of our community.
Experiences like this are a great reminder that being a Cougar is about more than what happens in the classroom, on the court, or on the field. It’s also about being a positive presence in our communities, making a difference in the lives of others, and learning from one another.
Thank you to Hillcrest for welcoming our students and giving them this opportunity.

🌱 Future scientists in training! Today, our 8th-grade science students stepped into the role of researchers to master the basics of experimental design. To explore the real-world factors that affect plant growth, students took total control of the scientific method. They brainstormed variables, formed hypotheses, and set up their own hands-on experiments.. By controlling variables and keeping precise data logs, these students aren't just reading about science—they are actively living it. We can't wait to see what their data reveals! 📊🔬

Technology can be frustrating, not going to lie, So it's a good thing we have Nate, the tech guy. When your signal is "weak", And you're about to freak, We call Nate. When your page won't load, And your head is about to explode, We call Nate. When the iPads don't produce sound, And no solution can be found, We call Nate. When your Chromebook is a lemon and decides to quit, And you are in the middle of throwing a fit, We call Nate. When you open an email that is bad, And now you are feeling sad, We call Nate. When you click on a dangerous link, And now a virus is on the brink, We call Nate. In 4 buildings between 2 towns, he has a lot on his plate, Happy IT Professionals' Day to Nate, One day late. SF recently welcomed Tyson, And he should help out a ton. So thank you to both of you, For all that you do!
*Disclaimer: SF staff, do not call Nate. This line was used for literary purposes only. Please follow protocol and submit a help ticket through email when encountering a technology issue.

A team of No Boundaries Northeast students presented a renovation plan to Mr. Vonk and Mrs. Miehe from Future Frontiers today. The students did a great job of talking about things in the room they would like to remedy to make the spaces more functional. Students then took the meeting's feedback and created their next plan of action to make the space into a working showroom for Premier Furniture! The end goal is have students work with other school districts as they select new furniture.

Life Skills in action! Our middle school students are learning skills that prepare them for life beyond the classroom—from discovering themselves and building healthy friendships to communicating effectively, practicing good citizenship, developing employability skills, and learning the basics of financial literacy.
And yes, sometimes life skills look like changing a tire! 🚗💪 These hands-on experiences help students build confidence, independence, problem-solving skills, and the knowledge they’ll carry with them for years to come.

7th grade science students in Mrs. Rucker's class learned about methods of plant reproduction by collecting plants outside around SFMS. They completed an assignment where they provided a sketch and a real sample of six different plants, identified their common and scientific names, and researched the method(s) each plant uses for reproduction.
