Please enjoy the second in our new staff series: Meet Ms. Jodie Dietrich - FLES Secretary. Stay tuned for more, including a special edition newsletter later this month!
Dietrich Introduction

What does it look like at FLES?

This summer, the Kettle Moraine YMCA held summer camp at RMS every week, and summer school, which ran for six weeks, is finishing up tomorrow! That means our major construction projects occurred at FLES this summer. So what is different? Safety features and updates for our parking lot. Take a look at the progress! And, stay-tuned for updates from Mr. Laird regarding traffic flow as we near the start of school.
