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! 🍎✏️📚


Opening Day Agendas should be finding their way to staff members via mail and email soon, but you can find a copy here too! https://5il.co/1f0oe

FES was proud to have the West Virginia Farm Bureau’s Mobile Agriculture Education Science Lab this past week. The 46-foot Lab is equipped with multiple research stations so students can learn about the importance of agriculture in everyday living. Students were able to participate in experiments, learn to read nutrition labels, discover which snacks are healthier for their bodies, and what food choices will promote healthy lifestyles. 👩🏻🔬👨🏼🔬 🚜 🌽 🌾
A huge Thank You to Mrs. Eye for organizing this fun week for our students!





Mrs. Whitecotton held a special luncheon for the 6th grade students. The tables were decorated with an item from each of their previous teachers, and students had fun reminiscing on which classroom the items came from. 💙
Mrs. Griffin also challenged her 6th graders to see who could make the longest paper chain in 15 minutes, with only two sheets of construction paper, one pair of scissors, and 5 inches of tape. Wow! Look at their creativity! ✂️⛓⏱
