FES students earned a Cougar Way Reward today. The message on the board said, "Throw a Snow Sphere." Classes played Snowball Dodgeball this afternoon. Each class sent its winner to the Championship Game. The Snowball Dodgeball Champion is Alexis Hagen. The staff also competed, and the winner was Miss Njus for the second year in a row! The winner of each class got a Hostess Snowball.
Congratulations to our Quarter 3 Read Bowl winners: 8th Grade-Zak Willems, Jayden Haverkamp, 7th Grade-Theo Johnson, 6th Grade-Tay Marvin, and 5th Grade-Lucille Kleiss. 6th Grade Lit 3 were our class winners this week.
More Beach Party fun!
Durant students had a blasts at their Beach Party. We celebrated the student's hard work and good behavior during the first semester. They enjoyed a treat, hula dancing, the limbo, Bingo, and beach ball fun!
Mrs. Mizer's 3rd grade class read the most for Week 1 of Reading is Fun Month at FES. The Traveling Trophy made its way to this classroom with the song "We are the Champions" playing upon its arrival. Myla Strempke was the overall top reader.
FES Preschool students had a Valentine Date Night where they came to the school with their parents, took photos in our Photo Booth, made a Valentine for a loved one and then mailed it. Students were excited to choose someone to send a Valentine Hug!
FES is so proud of our Star Cougars for the month of January! Way to start off the new year showing the Cougar Way! Mr. Volker presented certificates to students who had perfect attendance for the first semester. FES also celebrated January birthdays. Thank you, Mr. Seney, for being a cool superintendent who is willing to join in our elementary fun...the staff and students loved seeing your dance moves during the birthday song!
FES had its January Cougar Way Assembly last Friday. In the skit, Miss Henniges was the teacher and explained that February is Reading is Fun Month. Dorothy and Scarecrow went home and read. They showed RESPONSIBILITY by turning in all 4 reading slips, so they earned a bowling party. Tin Man went home and played video games because he said, "My HEART just isn't into reading." He didn't turn in his reading slips, so he couldn't go bowling. After getting a selfie from his friends at the bowling alley and seeing how much fun they were having, he said he wished he would have put his HEART into reading and showed RESPONSIBILITY by turning in his reading slips. We hope our FES students put their hearts into reading this month and reach our goal of 120,000 minutes!

Student-Athlete of the Week: Kinnick Gordon
"Kinnick does a lot of the little things that make a big difference for our basketball team. He fills up the stat sheet across multiple categories and has good basketball awareness. Kinnick's ability to jump in and play multiple positions gives us flexibility in our lineups and matchups. He is a key component for our success." -Coach Quigley
