Durant students had ENCORE Wednesday, and we celebrated our Super Cougars for the month of October. Congrats to the students who were recognized and show the Cougar Way!
8th grade TAG students selected a service project for Veterans, and they are incorporating it into the Veterans' Program they will be doing on Veterans' Day, Nov 11th. They will set up a field of American flags in partnership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to honor local veterans and raise critical funds to support our nation's ill and injured heroes. To purchase a flag for the field, please visit: https://support.dav.org/participants/SFMS

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!

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.
