Sumner-Fredericksburg Schools

On Homecoming day, Durant students celebrated our Super Cougars with a trip to the prize cart. We appreciate all the local businesses who have donated prizes. Staff also planned games for students to play in the morning before we went to the Pep Assembly. We had a great time!

Many thanks to Kristy Bata with Kwik Star, Grain & Thread, Euphoria, Ten Wasp, Clocktower and Deb Elliott (cookies)and Fueled by Faith and Subway for donating prizes for our Super Cougars and Staff! We greatly appreciate your support.

More DES Super Cougars!

At ENCORE today we celebrated our first group of Super Cougars and the PURPLE Den who earned the most points for showing the Cougar Way last month. Way to go Cougars!

Thank you to the 8th graders and Middle School Staff for coming over to FES this morning to run activity stations for our students. Special thanks to Mrs. Bullerman for organizing this event. Thank you also to Tiffany Slick who generously donated Cougar paw tattoos that were put on during the face painting/tattoo station. We LOVE our Cougar family!

We had many teams represented at Durant today for Team Day. We all know our favorite teams are the SF Cougars!

It's Western Wednesday at Durant! Check out all of our cowgirls and cowboys. Yeehaw!

Western Day at FES...

We ride from east to WEST,
Shouting "The Cougars are the BEST!"

We are PROUD of you,
Say, we are PROUD of you!
FES recognized Star Cougars who "Go For Gold" showing the Cougar Way every day! Each Star Cougar carried our Cougar Way Torch lighting the way for their fellow Cougars to follow their example. Mrs. Boltz placed a gold medal around their necks once they reached the Winners' Podium. They also received a USA ring pop to symbolize a champion ring.

FES had its September Cougar Way Assembly today. The character pillar for this month was Trustworthiness. In the skit, coach Henniges told her volleyball players to practice serving 10 times. Njus, the Trustworthy volleyball player, did what her coach said, even when the coach wasn't looking. Harkrader showed the opposite of Trustworthiness by only doing 5 serves and then lied to her coach. On the night of the big game, Harkrader didn't get her serve over, and the other team won. We celebrated September birthdays with a new challenge of keeping a red, white, and blue balloon up in the air during the birthday song. We also added a new segment to our assembly called The Lucky American. Each class has a USA cup filled with names of students from each class. Mrs. Hammond rolls a dice and draws a name from the cup with the matching number as the dice. The September Lucky American was Skye Howard. She received a USA water bottle.

Class Color Day at FES...

Our class has spirit,
Yes, we do!
Our class has spirit,
How about you?

FES earned a Cougar Way Reward today. Students walked to the Brad Niewoehner Memorial Park to enjoy time playing with their friends and teachers. It is so nice to have this park close to our school.

FES Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Harkrader, hosted
Dads and Donuts this morning. Thank you to all the dads who came in for a visit!

FES staff is ready to "Go for Gold" this year and help each child reach his or her full potential! We are just over 10 months away from the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the Winter Olympics are coming this February...so "Go for Gold" seemed like the perfect theme for our new school year! Students were given a USA bracelet at our Back to School Assembly today to remind them to always try their best and "Go for Gold" in everything they do! A special thank you to Andrew Slick for donating the pallets and to Kenny Hammond for using them to create our Winner's Podium!

Check out the school supply lists for the upcoming school year! 🎒✨ Iowa Family Week is a great time to start your back-to-school shopping.

We appreciate all the volunteers who stepped in the last few days to trim bushes, pull weeds, and spread fresh mulch around Durant Elementary! It was humid and we are incredibly grateful for your efforts to continue beautifying our campus! 👏👏 #SolidFoundation #StrongFuture #SumnerFredericksburg
