What a great morning!!! We started our day celebrating the August students of the month. Chick-fil-A sent biscuits for us to enjoy, and they sponsor our Core Essentials Character Education curriculum. We are so grateful for their continued support.

Our students are doing so much to make Helping Hands Ending Hunger a success. Our fourth and fifth grade Ambassadors work during breakfast and lunch to collect, sort, and store the leftover and donated food, as well as pack the bags to go home each week. Our third-grade students deliver our bags to classrooms on Friday to go home for the weekend.

Grandparent's Lunch Reminders: We have a few reminders as we celebrate our FES Grandparents this week. Adult lunches cost $4.00. You may pay with cash or check and please have correct change. To protect instructional time, students will only be allowed to eat with a grandparent during their lunch time. Please enter the lunchroom from the gym side.
