Today during Encore, Durant Elementary celebrated Super Cougars, birthdays, and students who won a library award for checking out the most books this year! They also talked about Citizenship and being a good teammate! Teachers and students competed in scooter and hula hoop races with their Cougar Dens and then wrapped up the assembly with pillar review!
FES had their Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. In the skit, the Wild Thing was on Trial to decide if we should adopt it into our Cougar Family or release it into the wild far away from Cougar Country. Lawyer Hammond called up witnesses to recap how we tried to teach the Wild Thing the Cougar Way, but it still can't be trusted. At the end, Mrs. Boltz read a poem about the Cougar Way, and the Wild Thing changed and revealed its Cougar Heart. We also celebrated April and July Birthdays as well as recognized Star Cougars. Mrs. Throckmorton gave out certificates to the students in each grade who checked out the most books from the library this year. You can watch the Trial of the Wild Thing at the following link: https://youtu.be/1TKFZKwV1rc?si=XfZgW-YxSbG5qkUi

Big thanks to Mrs. Jones and the HS SWAT team for coming to Durant and spending the day with us! Durant students had so much fun being able to eat lunch, play at recess, participate in activities, and learn about being healthy with their high school role models!
FES students earned another Cougar Way Reward. Students decorated May Day boxes and wrote notes this morning. Then, students delivered their May Day boxes to houses in Fredericksburg. Students had fun knocking on the door and running away before they were caught! Thank you to Miss Henniges and Mr. Schmitz for driving the bus for us. FES students delivered 100 boxes to spread kindness in our community. Happy May Day!
Sumner-Fredericksburg Board of Education has named Kevin Seney our next Superintendent!
Happy School Principals' Day to Miss Hoth from her minions! Her organizational skills are top-notch, and she loves her Google Calendar to keep her minions in order. She got her start in Texas, and they say things are BIGGER in Texas...but we hope she is remembering that everything is BETTER in Iowa! #fieldsofopportunities
