FES earned a Cougar Way Reward today. The secret code said, "Spooky Spider." Students went to the music room to do a Halloween Dance and a Spooky Spider Adventure. Then, students made a spider to eat! A special thank you to Caleb Terhune for his generous donation of Oreo cookies to make our snack!

Our talented 8th graders just wrapped up an incredible robotics project: designing and engineering their very own spinning signs! By combining hardware and logic, they programmed motors to control the physical rotation and wired up touch sensors to trigger the movement on command. It’s amazing to see these young engineers learn firsthand how software instructions translate into real-world action. Check out their hard work in action! 👇

Midwest Grain Bins SFMS Student-Athletes of the Week: Tatum Halstead & Jaxon Child

He is a great example of what can happen when you show up, work hard, and put in the effort to get better." Coach Volker
"Jaxon has been our fastest runner on the team as he has finished as the quickest Cougar in most of our meets this year. He has really taken it upon himself to lead by example to run the best race he can.
