Points of P.R.I.D.E.

Get all your official FES merchandise here! Store will open today and close on November 5th!

Ms. R. will be here for PE.

Please make sure to send your child/ren dressed for the weather. Days are beginning very cold and warming up. A coat or a sweatshirt will help to keep them warm. Also, the playground is often wet in the morning. A change of clothes in backpacks keeps us warm and dry and ready to learn.

Next Friday, we will be outside for the entire afternoon. We will begin with a story from the town library. We will then explore the impact of the changing seasons on the world around us. Please make sure your child comes ready to be outside and warm.

Please make sure that your child/ren are keeping toys at home. We have amazing things to do and play with at school. They will not need them.

On October 31st, we will be carving pumpkins with the PTO. At 2:15 we will be leaving for our annual Halloween Parade.

Students can bring their costumes to school. We will change after lunch. Your child/ren should be able to put their costume on alone. No masks or gore, please. They need to be able to see where they are going so they will be safe on the road.

Please consider signing up to help the PTO. click here to learn more!

The boys and girls did a great job presenting at the PRIDE Meeting about the apple and pumpkin life cycle. They worked really hard on their drawings and paintings of each part. This week, we also went to visit the fire station. They were a fantastic audience and learned a lot about fire safety.

It was great to be back in Francestown this week. The students convinced me to jump right ahead to our painting unit! They had some imaginative ideas for compositions and they were skillful in bringing their concepts to life with color. We can look forward to creating spectacular collages when I return for the week of December 11th.

FES would like to say a big thank you to the Francestown Fire Department! Students enjoyed our field trip today! We also learned how to keep our families and ourselves safe.

If you need help please contact Harriet Ford about Operation Santa or Divine Mercy. There is an opportunity for gifts for children and adults. It will be kept confidential. We need to know by October 25, 2023.

We have food available through End 68 Hours of Hunger.
