The Traveling Trophy finally got to move across the hall,
In Week 4, Mrs. Boltz's students gave it their all.

So 3rd and 4th graders will be able to bowl!
K-2 grades will have a reading party at school,
Friday afternoon will be so cool!

Today, SFMS TAG students traveled to Clarksville to put their engineering skills to the test by constructing paper roller coasters! This picture features the two teams that earned the Reliability Award, as their marbles successfully completed the track without any assistance. They were the two teams out of three that did this out of the whole competition! Our students also received the Team Award for outstanding teamwork and collaboration throughout the event. We are so proud of our students for their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork! Way to represent Sumner-Fredericksburg!
Since FES students have been putting their "hearts" into reading this month (unlike the Tin Man), the Cougar Way Reward today was frosting and decorating a heart cookie. Thank you to Mrs. Westendorf for making her delicious cookies and frosting for us!
For today's Reading Buddies session, our talented middle school TAG students led a wonderful demonstration on creating heart-shaped origami boxes!
