We are GRATEFUL for our student community. They all do their part to contribute to the functioning of our school each day. Today we have an #attitudeofgratitude for students who care for our trout tank, donate to our fundraisers, and set up the technology in the library!

The best news of the day at FKS is that our new playground is finally open! After a brief review of the rules by Mr. Churchill, students enjoyed their first recess on the new playset today. Many thanks to the district business office for the grant that funded a majority of the project and the FKS PTA for its contribution to the funding. Thanks also to Mr. Mazuca, our district Facilities Manager, for seeing us through the hiccups along the way. We look forward to many years of FKS students enjoying this addition to our playground activities.

We were very proud and honored this morning to host the veterans of Washington Township Post 1776 to recognize Veterans Day with a flag raising ceremony and thank them for their selfless service. They hosted a chat with our 5th graders following some refreshments, where our students learned how important veterans are to the shaping of our nation and the sacrifice they made to uphold our rights and freedoms. We look forward to hosting our local veterans again for Memorial Day.
