During the month of March, FES will be focusing on the CARING character pillar. For our Caring Project, we want students and staff to bring in spare change that will be donated to the Fredericksburg Food Pantry. Each classroom teacher will have a container. The teacher who has the most money in his or her container will get silly-stringed by his or her students at our next assembly! Students and staff may bring in spare change as often as they want from March 10-March 28th.
FES students did an awesome job making their Wizard of Oz masks to wear during our reading party today!
FES 3rd and 4th graders went bowling today to celebrate making our reading goal. K-2 grades had a reading party back at the school. They were divided into 6 teams and rotated to 6 different stations. They made Wizard of Oz masks, had a dance party, blew bubble wands, played Wizard of Oz Bingo, did a scooter race to get the Witch's broom, and made a witch hat snack.
FES had its reading party today since the students made their reading goal for the month of February. A huge thank you to The Women of Fredericksburg for donating awesome prize bags for our students who showed RESPONSIBILITY during the month of February by turning in their weekly reading slips. Another huge thank you to the United Methodist Church of Fredericksburg for donating a book for every child in Preschool through Grade 4. We appreciate the support of our community..."There's No Place Like Fredericksburg!"

8th grade science students applied their knowledge of force and motion to design and construct an egg holder to protect their egg from an initial drop of 8.5 feet. Those who made it through Round 1 moved on to Round 2, where they dropped their egg from a height of 23 feet. Students used planning and budgeting skills along the way to "purchase" materials from Mrs. Rucker's store to make their designs. We had several groups come away with unscathed eggs from the impressive 23 foot drop!
FES had its Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. In the skit, Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man decided to go to see the Wizard to ask for Dorothy's ruby red shoes back, a math brain for Scarecrow, and a reading heart for Tin Man. On the way to Emerald City, the Tin Man was "rusty" from not practicing reading during Reading is Fun month, and he couldn't read the signs warning them of falling rocks and to beware of lions. The Lion appeared and tried fighting the Scarecrow and Tin Man. When the Lion tried biting Toto, Dorothy slapped him, and he started crying. Dorothy said he was nothing but a coward, and the Lion told her that he had no courage. The Lion said he could read and do math, but he was scared to get up in front of people because he had no courage. He showed her the Smokey the Bear commercial and said that it was supposed to be Smokey the Lion who taught others about preventing forest fires, but on the day of the commercial, he got too nervous and couldn't do it, so they hired the bear instead. Lion said his life has been unBEARable ever since. Dorothy invited the Lion to join them and ask the Wizard for some courage so that he could be the King of the Forest again.
FES had its Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. We recognized Star Cougars and celebrated February birthdays.

Today, SFMS TAG students traveled to Clarksville to put their engineering skills to the test by constructing paper roller coasters! This picture features the two teams that earned the Reliability Award, as their marbles successfully completed the track without any assistance. They were the two teams out of three that did this out of the whole competition! Our students also received the Team Award for outstanding teamwork and collaboration throughout the event. We are so proud of our students for their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork! Way to represent Sumner-Fredericksburg!
Since FES students have been putting their "hearts" into reading this month (unlike the Tin Man), the Cougar Way Reward today was frosting and decorating a heart cookie. Thank you to Mrs. Westendorf for making her delicious cookies and frosting for us!
