FES had its December Cougar Way Assembly today. In the skit, Dorothy and Scarecrow decided to go to the North Pole and ask Santa for help instead of Emerald City because it was closer. The RESPECT pillar was broken at the North Pole when the reindeer started making fun of Rudolph's nose. Santa told Dorothy and Scarecrow that Christmas isn't about how good you are at math or getting new shoes, it's about being with your family. Santa told them to go home because "There's No Place Like Home for Christmas." You can watch our Christmas skit at the following link: https://youtu.be/Po_bJ84Tbyg

Our snowmen might be tiny, but it was a BIG day at FES today as we celebrated North Pole Day. FES students went to Santa's workshop and picked out gifts for their parents. Then, they decorated gift bags and wrapping paper to add a special touch to the presents. Thank you to the FES staff for making this "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" for our students!

SFHS Student-Athletes of the Week: Jamie Jones and Noah Henderson:
"Jamie Jones has been unstoppable with her growth and consistency this season. She has avenged several losses with domination over state qualifying and ranked opponents while earning herself a spot in the championship of every tournament thus far. Her tenacity, grit, and work ethic are keys to her success and inspirational to her teammates. Currently, Jamie holds a 14-4 record with 11 pins, she's ranked #8 in the state at 155 pounds. She's a true competitor, and the best is yet to come!" -Coach Jones
"Noah is a force to be reckoned with so far this season and is a leader on and off the mat for the Cougar wrestling team. Noah is currently 8-0 on the season including two wins over ranked wrestlers and won the Dan Guilford Invitational last Saturday at Monticello." -Coach Meyer

MS Families,
As winter weather approaches, we would like to provide you with information regarding Snow Days. If we experience a snow day next week, it will be made up on Monday, February 17th (Presidents' Day). After returning from winter break, the next two snow days will be normal snow days. Following these snow days, we will implement 5 At-Home Learning Days. If any additional snow days are necessary beyond these 7 days, they will be made up by extending the school year.
At-Home Learning Days packets are going home with your child today. They need to be put in a safe place at home. All work for 5 snow days are in this folder, as well as instructions, standards, and contact information. You will be notified via district notifications when At-Home Learning Days happen. Students will be able to communicate with staff members via Google Meet or email throughout the day to receive help. All work is graded. Students will have seven calendar days from that snow day to complete this work. All work will be posted on the school website. If you lose your packets (which we really hope doesn't happen), you will be able to reprint the work. Each class has their own work and it should be labeled by class and teacher.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your cooperation!
