This incredible group of students is part of our SFMS Hope Squad. They dedicated their time this year to building a stronger, more connected, and inclusive school community. They participated in valuable lessons and activities and have been trained on how to be a supportive resource for their peers who might be going through a tough time.
ISTEP (Iowa Students for Tobacco Education and Prevention) is a group of 7th & 8th graders who participated in activities throughout the school year to promote healthy habits and decision-making.

Fredericksburg Elementary 3rd and 4th grade students took a field trip to Calmar to the Northeast Iowa Dairy Foundation.

Happy School Nurse Appreciation Day,
Now give us a minute, we have something to say.
This poem was written last year,
But we all still feel the same around here.
Ms. Luebbers travels to each school,
When handling difficult issues, she always keeps her cool.
Ms. Julie can’t wait for her to get over here,
Dealing with a bloody nose is a real fear.
If you have a fever and are feeling hot,
Ms. Luebbers will let you lie on her cot.
If you fall and need an ice pack,
Don’t worry, Ms. Luebbers has your back.
But if you tell your teacher you have a tummy ache,
Ms. Luebbers will make sure it isn’t fake.
If you are really sick, she will give your parents a call,
So relax and don’t bawl.
Her son taught at FES, and he was ‘da bomb,
So we know she is also a good mom.
She will take care of your kids too,
But this is something most of you already knew.
When things go from bad to worse,
We are so thankful to have Ms. Luebbers, the nurse!
Good morning S-F parents,
Our internet is down this morning at all buildings due to a cut cable during local road construction. All building phones are still functional and our provider is working on the issue. Once we are back online, we'll let parents know. Thank you!

The Middle School Hope Squad served Hope Floats to the middle school last Friday during Hope Week! Thank you to Ten Wasp Brewery for the generous donation of root beer!
FES had a Cougar Way Assembly today. Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion made it to Emerald City to see the Wizard. He told them they needed to get the broomstick from the Wicked Witch for their wishes to be granted. They melted the Wicked Witch and got Dorothy's shoes back. The Wizard told them they already have all that they need to succeed back at FES, so Dorothy clicked her shoes together and said, "There's No Place Like FES." They all ended up back where they belong. You can watch our last skit of the year at the following link: https://youtu.be/Yne5P7A27Y4
FES celebrated Star Cougars and April/July Birthdays today at the Cougar Way Assembly. Thank you to our Lollipop Guild for handing out the lollipops!
Thank you bunches and bunches for our breakfasts and lunches!
* They start early in the morning, work hard, and serve with heart. We're grateful for our kitchen cooks and servers who ensure our kids get a nutritious meal every day. 🍅🥦
* On School Lunch Hero Day, we thank you for the vital role you play in the lives of our students and in our schools!

ATTENTION FES STUDENTS: Maverick is reminding you to wear your Cougar shirt tomorrow for our Cougar Way Assembly!
FES students love knocking on the door and trying to run away before being caught! To the members of the community of Fredericksburg...thank you for supporting our school! What a fun day!
Happy May Day from FES! Today students decorated bags and wrote notes. Students delivered their May Day Bags to people around town to spread kindness. Thank you to Miss Henniges for driving the bus for us!
Happy School Principals' Day to Mr. Volker! FES decided to play a game in his honor. Staff hid 100 pictures of him around the school. When students found a picture, they would put it on a board that said, "Where in the World is Mr. Volker?" As of 2:30, 97 pictures have been found. Will FES students find all 100 pictures? Thank you, Mr. Volker, for always being there for your staff and students! We appreciate all that you do!
