Happy Friday, Lil Steamer Families!
September 29, 2023
From the desk of: Principal Hoese
It's another FULL MOON tonight! This one is the Harvest Moon and our Lil Steamers learn all about it in our morning announcements. Take time to enjoy the fall weather this weekend!
Attendance Letters
Some families may have received emails or letters regarding FES attendance concerns.
As a district, we are looking to improve communication between home and school regarding student attendance so these notifications are our way of taking a proactive approach with families. It's also a way to ensure that families are aware of our policies and procedures with attendance.
Morning Drop-off
Our morning supervision at FES begins at 7:30 AM. Please avoid dropping children off before then because if there is an accident, injury, or another safety issue occurs we are unable to assist or care for the child.
After School Safety
Please be very mindful when traveling after school as we have a number of students who walk home. We have had some close calls recently and we want to make sure that every Lil Steamer makes it home to their families. Drive slow, put the cell phone down, and please be aware of your surroundings.
Roese Hoese
You may notice that I am bringing my 6 month old sweet pup Roese to school a little more often. This is part of her training and acclimation to the school as she continues her journey to become a school therapy dog! Her interactions will still be very limited with students until she is further along with her training. Don't worry, she stays quite comfortable in the office area :)
Have a great weekend!

From the Desk of: Counselor Meumann
This week on “Wellness Wednesday” we talked about how fruits and vegetables provide vitamins for our growing bodies and food for our brains. The student wellness challenge this week was to try one new fruit or vegetable.
Junior Achievement and Steamer Nation Need Volunteers
Junior Achievement is looking for a volunteer to present the program to your child’s classroom! The 5th Grade program is called JA Our Nation® introduces students to entrepreneurs and how they use resources (natural, human, and capital) to provide goods and services. Students examine career clusters and skills necessary for high-demand jobs. The class also explores how the United States is connected to the global economy and discuss why businesses specialize and trade. There are many grades levels across Steamer Nation that participate in JA and need volunteers. More information about the grade level programs can be found here.
***JA provides all materials necessary along with outlined, easy-to-follow lesson plans. Everything needed (i.e., posters, worksheets, stickers) comes in a packet. The volunteer presents five, 45-minute lessons. Volunteers typically present once a week but work directly with the teacher to arrange a schedule. Interested individuals can contact Monica at monica.telschow@ja.org. If you are interesterd in volunteering in 5A with Mrs. Snyder's class, please reach out to Mrs. Snyder.
