Happy Friday, Lil Steamer Families!
November 12, 2021
From the desk of: Principal Hoese
Lil Steamer Families --
A couple highlights from this week stand out to me.
Honoring and thanking our local veterans on Veterans Day and a whole school effort to wish good luck to our Steamer football team.
It's great to have a break from our normal school routine and support others.
New events like for students are engaging and fun; look for opportunities to do so with your kiddos this weekend!
As Darius Rucker's song For the First Time goes... "When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
Have a great weekend... and GOOOOOOO STEAMERS!!!
JAGH
Thank You Veterans
Good Luck Fulton Steamers
The Lil Steamers of the Greatest Little Elementary School in the Universe would like to wish the Fulton Steamers good luck in the quarterfinal football game Saturday. We have enjoy following the football journey and appreciate our student-athlete role models (especially when they interact with us)! We will be cheering you on tomorrow along with the rest of #SteamerNation! Good luck.... and GOOOOOOOO STEAMERS!!!!
Student COVID Related Absences
From the desk of: School Counselor Mrs. Meumann
Thank you to all of the veterans for their service. Veteran’s Day is a great time to show children how to honor those who served in wars and a perfect time for them to do something kind to show their gratitude. Your child can help you hang an American flag outside of your home. If you don’t have a flag, encourage them to make their own flag. Once they are done, display the flag on a window or a door.
Speech and Language News: Mrs. Beveroth
What is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)?
AAC means all of the ways someone can communicate besides talking. If someone has difficulty with speech or language skills, they could benefit from AAC. There are different types of AAC including no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech.
No-tech and low-tech options include:
- Gestures and facial expressions
- Writing
- Drawing
- Spelling words by pointing to letters
- Pointing to photos, pictures, or written words
High-tech options include:
- Using an app on an iPad/tablet to communicate
- Using a speech-generating device
If you are concerned about your child’s communication skills, please contact me by email at lbeveroth@riverbendschools.net or by phone at 815-589-2911.

Help support the 3D printing lab at FES
Last year, FES received a grant to purchase a 3D printer and the students loved learning how 3D printers work. Toward the end of last year, we had a parent graciously donated a second 3D printer. Since, we were able to get 5 more printers over the 2021 summer. Now, we have 7 3D printers! Mr. Dail along with Mr. Tenboer have been printing projects continuously since the start of the year. Many of the items that we have printed can be seen on the table in our morning announcements! However, printing all of these projects means we run out of materials once in awhile. If you have used or seen a 3D printer, the material is called filament. We mainly use PLA filament and the button below is a link to an Amazon wishlist full of filament. If you are willing to donate a roll, it is greatly appreciated, but please do not feel that you need to.
