KB wanted to enjoy the sunshine and get a little messy, so they headed outside to carve Pumpkin Jack. Mrs. Kimble read the story in class, and then they did activities that went along with it. 🎃🧡




Who said broccoli was just for eating?!?! The students in 2A had a ton of fun “Broccoli Painting”. Look at their beautiful fall trees!🥦 🍂🍁🌳🧡




KA Celebrated graduation from ABC Boot Camp by showing off their letter vests in a fashion show and an ABC parade, where they handed parade goers some fabulous handmade letters!

Girl’s Day Out in Mrs. George’s class was so much fun! They stayed after school and built forts!

Fall is here, so KB has been learning about harvesting. They enjoyed some homemade applesauce and worked on their fine motor skills by making an apple art project. 🍎✂️
Learning about Living and Nonliving things was also a hit! They loved the Hands On activity with Earthworms and Gummy Worms. 🪱





Ms. Simmons and her 2nd graders had a blast at Boy’s Day Out with movies and snacks! 🎥🍿



Last Friday, our students were able to spend the day learning about various activities associated with Treasure Mountain Festival.

Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers for making the day so fun and successful!

Mrs. Nicely’s 1st Graders and Mrs. Dove’s 3rd Graders have released some beautiful monarch butterflies recently.
Mrs. Dove’s class had a pretty exciting experience with theirs. One of her students noticed a fully formed monarch butterfly in the window behind the shade. It had escaped from the tank and formed its chrysalis in the classroom. 🧡





Fall Picture Day is this week! 📸
These will be the pictures that are used for the yearbook. Don’t forget your smile on Thursday! 😃


A huge Thank You to Jodie Wimer of Lavender Raine Designs for upgrading our front doors and providing added security for our students! 🐾💙


We still have some 2021-2022 yearbooks for sale. If you are interested in purchasing one, please send $13 to school with your child in an envelope or bag with “Yearbook” labeled on the front. These are a great keepsake to look back on memories from over the years! 🐾


FES Kindergarten Color Week will be this week! We would like all Kindergarten through 6th grade students, faculty, and staff to participate and help us review our colors! This is a great opportunity for our community to participate and support our students as we dress in the color of the day and explore the world of color! 🌈


We are excited to see all of our students back in the building today! Here is our lunch menu to start the year!


A truck full of school supplies arrived at FES today! 💙
We received pencils, crayons, markers, notebooks, construction paper, scissors, pencil boxes, binders, recess equipment, backpacks, and much more! This was all made possible by the generous donations of an anonymous Corporation from northern Virginia, and delivered by our dear friends Vicki, Allison, and Michael who we have known for almost two decades. 🖍✂️📚✏️🎒
Thank you to the volunteers that came to help unload and organize! 🐾





We know times are tough, so we want to do everything we can to help our families. 🐾
Enjoy the rest of your summer! ☀️
First day back for students is August 19th! 🍎✏️📚
