Fredericksburg Elementary Preschoolers tried to catch a leprechaun today! They built traps at home with their families and set them up in the classroom before they went down to the kitchen to mix up the “magic powder” the leprechauns left for snack! When they returned to their classroom they found a huge mess that they had to pick up! No one was lucky enough to catch a leprechaun, but they did leave us gold coins and necklaces to celebrate!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

Preschool students at Fredericksburg Elementary had a date night this past week. Students and their parents took photos in the photo booth, made a Valentine to send to someone, mailed it, and took home a treat. Students are looking forward to hearing from those they mailed their Valentines too!

February is Reading is Fun Month at FES. This year's theme is "Be Powerful...READ!" The goal is to read 120,000 minutes this month. Teachers will keep track of minutes read at school, and students and parents will keep track of minutes that are read at home. The Parent Note and Week 1 Reading Slip were sent home on Friday. The class that reads the most each week will get the Traveling Trophy. If we meet our goal, 3rd and 4th graders who return all 4 slips will get to go bowling. K-2 will have a reading party at the school. Students who are responsible and return their slips will also get a special prize bag donated by The Women of Fredericksburg. We look forward to our students showing responsibility in the month of February!
