Thank you to our very own Mrs. Hampton for talking to FES classes about her service. This provided a personal connection for our 3rd and 4th grade students prior to going to the Veterans Day Program at the Middle School. 3rd and 4th grade students also made cards to thank Mrs. Hampton for her service. FES would like to thank all the Veterans for their service.
Huge shout out to our AmVet Post 90 Veterans and all Veterans today! Thank you for attending our program and for your service to our country. Thank you to our school for fundraising over $1000 to go to Retrieving Freedom in Waverly that helps Veterans get a service dog.
Durant students had some special guests for High Five Friday! We are very thankful for our Veteran’s.
The SFMS had a spectacular Veteran's Day presentation. The kids had fun, were very well behaved, and learned a lot about respect, and support for our veterans.

Mrs. Price's Engineering Design Process class and Durant's 4th graders waited excitedly for the day they got to test out their contraptions that would protect their pumpkins. Of the 8 groups that dropped their pumpkins, 3 contraptions kept their pumpkin safe. We then got to drop our constant (a pumpkin without protection) to see what would happen to an unprotected pumpkin when dropped. Not only were students able to build with what they've learned about engineering design, but they also built new high school or elementary friendships.
5 & 6 grade basketball sign-up. Deadline is Nov. 10.

Sumner-Fredericksburg High School students had the privilege to have a guided tram tour through John Deere Waterloo Works yesterday. Some of the information shared by our guide included the following: Why the change to the current emblem they use (7 in all), the vast countries they do business with, their Gold Key Program, current career opportunities, custom tractor options, John Deere "smart" tools, the different regulations for each country, and 30% of their workforce are women.
This was an unbelievable opportunity for our students, and we can't thank John Deere enough! Cougar Learn! Cougar Caree Opportunity!
For the past couple of weeks, Mrs. Price's Engineering Design Process students and Durant Elementary 4th Grade collaborated on an engineering project. The goal was to create a contraption what would protect a pumpkin from breaking when dropped from the high school stadium bleachers to the cement below. Each high school student in the Engineering Design Process class worked with four 4th Graders. The first task was to get measurements of their pumpkin and then brainstorm ideas. Of their 3 brainstormed ideas, they used a decision matrix to see which of their ideas would be most suitable for their contraption. Then the building of their contraption began. Stay tuned for the teams' pumpkin drops in upcoming posts. Special thanks to Trista Calonder and Jenna Wolfe for their generous pumpkin donations.
