Halloween 2023 at FKS! We had a great time parading the grounds in our costumes this afternoon. Many thanks to our office and custodial staffs, Mrs. Fessenden for the music, homeroom parents, our teachers and staff, and of course our families for making it the safe and enjoyable event it was. Happy Halloween!
This week, our Wolves participated in community building through personal wellness activities led by Sue Murphy.
The trout eggs arrived today from the Pequest Hatchery, delivered by Trout Unlimited, a national organization that brings trout eggs to schools for the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) project. TIC is a NJDEP Fish and Wildlife program that teaches the importance of cold water conservation. The delivery gentlemen and their precious cargo were received to cheers and song. Many thanks to the 5th grade team and TIC advisors Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Rooney. Students later looked at the unviable eggs with the microscope. We look forward to helping our trout grow strong for their release in May.
