Community Focus Group
Your Opinion Matters!
As part of our commitment to transparency and community engagement, we are inviting parents, guardians, and community members to participate in a focus group to support the hiring process for our next principal. Your perspectives and insights are invaluable in helping us identify the leadership qualities that best align with the needs and values of our school community. If you are interested in contributing to this important decision, please contact Michael Hatfield by June 17. We look forward to your participation in shaping the future of our school.
We will meet in the FES Library on Wednesday, June 18 from 1:00 - 2:00. Afterwards we will have our Celebration of Learning: A Year of Outdoor Lion's Learning.

Xploration Science Comes to FES
STEM in Action: Forces & Bubbles!
Students in grades 3–4 became engineers, exploring forces to design safer cars and protect crash test dummies. Meanwhile, students in grades K–4 dove into a bubbling mystery, investigating what made those curious bubbles appear. A week full of wonder, creativity, and scientific discovery!
