The Middle School Strength and Conditioning Program competed in a March Monthly Challenge! Students were in groups of 4 and as a team, had to complete all the tasks (attached picture with the green sheet). The success of the challenge depended on the strategy the team came up with. Athletes had to monitor and hold themselves accountable. Coach Kenan is training them to be honest with themselves by doing all of the reps. This program does more than just lift weights. We are also focusing on working together as a team and being mentally strong. What an awesome group of athletes! Stay tuned for April's Monthly Challenge!
Thanks to Sumner PD, Bremer County Sheriff, Tim Flaig, Tim Johnson, and the Waterloo K9 unit. No device was detected by their K9 unit, or on a visual walk-through of the SFHS building. We will continue to monitor the situation over the holiday weekend. See everyone on Monday for school. S-F CSD appreciates all the support and patience as we worked through the situation.
The Pennies for the Pantry Caring Project concluded today at the FES Cougar Way Assembly. Mr. Schmitz came in 2nd place with $338.00 in his container, and 1st place was Mrs. Harkrader with $419.61. The grand total donated to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry was $1,066.89! Donna Schildroth, head of the Fredericksburg Food Pantry, was at the assembly to accept the donation from FES. Thank you to Harold and Karen Lantow for providing the pig for Mrs. Harkrader to kiss. Thank you to all the FES families who donated money to this cause, and special thanks to Peggy Nieman and Kim Hoffman at Northeast Security Bank for counting all that change! The top two containers weighed almost 40 pounds each! It takes a village to provide these experiences for our children, and FES is proud of ours! You can watch Mrs. Harkrader kiss the pig at the following link: https://youtu.be/BWGsJt0y-pE

Attention...Cougar Way Reward in Progress! The FES students earned a Cougar Way Reward today (Wednesday). They colored a keychain to put on their backpacks. The keychains are called “Pajama Crew” and are different animals in their pajamas. The students were told that if they colored their keychains nicely, they could have a Pajama Day tomorrow (Thursday). Therefore, we encourage FES students to wear their pajamas tomorrow since they earned this two-day reward!
