Last Wednesday Durant students went to a pep assembly at the high school! Students showed their school spirit and wore their new cougar den shirts to cheer on Mr. Price, Mrs. Taplin, and Mrs. Slick as they competed against Fredericksburg Elementary, Middle School, and High School staff members in a competition!

Yesterday, FES went to the high school for a pep rally to get our teams fired up for postseason competition. Students loved shouting out by grade, "V-I-C-T-O-R-Y...that's our Cougar battle cry!" The FES trio of Schmitz, Njus, and Hammond came out victorious in the Minute to Win It challenge of being the first team to use a whole roll of toilet paper to create a T.P. Mummy. FES wishes all the best to our high school teams...Power comes from the UNITY of the pack...may the COUGAR PACK be mighty!






Reminder MS winter activities meeting tonight in the main gym at 6pm.
Cougar Nation, it’s time to rally!
Let’s send off our football team in style. Plan to gather Friday at 3p in the High School parking lot to wish our Cougar players and coaches goodluck as they travel to Dyersville for first round of playoffs. Send-off at 3:30p.
Kickoff at 7p.
Let’s go Cougars!

"There's No Place Like...Fredericksburg Elementary!" This was the idea Mrs. Hammond had for a shirt design for all FES staff and students to go along with our Wizard of Oz theme this year. She partnered with our awesome art teacher, Mrs. Owen, who used her graphic design skills to make this idea come to life. A huge thank you to Mrs. Owen! When we handed out the shirts today, a third-grade student said, "This shirt makes us feel like a family." Yes, indeed, FES is a family.





Many thanks to the parents who helped us "Stock the Lounge" at Durant and to Excelerating Sumner for bringing in supper for the staff who stayed for conferences last night. It is very much appreciated.
Thank you to the Fredericksburg United Methodist Church for providing FES and the Middle School supper during Parent-Teacher Conferences tonight. It was delicious and easy to grab between conferences. This was so kind of you and much appreciated!

7th and 8th grade student council members attended a Leadership Summit at Upper Iowa University!
