Tomorrow, Friday Sept 2, FCES students will celebrate completing our 3rd week of school & heading into the Labor Day weekend with a SIP Day picnic! Just like any other typical day at FCES, students should bring a sack lunch or purchase a lunch from the cafeteria. The only difference for tomorrow is that students will get to eat outside or in the classroom for a class picnic!
Our students had a blast doing this last year & we look forward to doing this again!

3rd Grade 7 Habits Team Building!
Ms. Fisher & Mrs. Hanlin's 3rd graders, recently, did a team building activity which included 2 of our Habits of Happy Kids. Groups were challenged to create & implement a plan. Students had to work together to construct a building while just using raw spaghetti & marshmallows. Check out all the fun!
The buses are on the way!
Hello, Families!
FCES is having an excellent start to the school year! This includes our continued incorporation of the Leader in Me program: 7 Habits of Happy Kids. The first couple weeks teachers spend time building relationships with our students & introducing these habits through different activities. Pictured is a description of each habit. Please feel free to ask your student(s) what they have learned about these & how they can demonstrate these traits both at school & at home.
