Thank you to Meg Volker for setting up this sharing library at FES. She even donated two chairs and a bench for a place to wait and read. The Lantow girls took home books and returned them this morning. This is a great addition to the front of our building and encourages the sharing of books. Thank you, Meg, for your generosity!

These boys talked about the importance of proper lifting technique, working hard during speed and agility drills, trusting the process, and how strength and conditioning has positively impacted their athletic development. Thanks for being great role models for our youth, and I truly appreciate your dedication to inspire the next generation.

Students learned about the culture and ceremonies, saw artifacts, and visited burial mounds of the Native Americans who lived in this area during prehistoric times. We also made a stop at Pikes Peak State Park where students got to see the stunning view across the Mississippi River from the overlook and took another hike to see the waterfalls and beautiful landscape.

SFHS Student-Athlete of the Week: Alexa Buhman and Cougar Football O-Line & D-Line
“Alexa has shown remarkable growth in both her confidence and decision-making on the court. As an offensive leader, she is continually improving her skills through hard work and determination. Recently, Alexa achieved two major milestones: recording her 2,000th career assist and her 500th career dig.” -Coach Buhman
“The Cougar OL and DL owned the line of scrimmage and allowed us to be successful on Friday as they dominated both lines. They are the foundation of our team and have been the glue that has kept us together and working hard.” -Coach Coyle

FES had the September Cougar Way Assembly today. In the beginning of the year skit, Auntie Em bought Dorothy new, sparkly shoes for the first day of school. In today's skit, Dorothy was at school with her friend and had to change her shoes for PE class. While Dorothy was at PE, the Wicked Witch blew in with the Tornado of Bad Character and broke the Trustworthiness Pillar by stealing Dorothy's ruby slippers! When Dorothy returned from PE, she was devastated to learn that her beloved shoes were missing!
The theme at FES this year is the Wizard of Oz. The skits at our Cougar Way Assemblies are going to have the characters from the Wizard of Oz helping us learn the character pillars along the yellow brick road. Our Para Educators are representing our Lollipop Guild who hand out lollipops to our Star Cougars. Thank you to Lynne Harris for making awesome shirts for our paras to wear during our assemblies. Congratulations to our September Star Cougars! We are so proud of you! We also celebrated September birthdays today.
