Fun Fact Friday: The stained glass piece in Legacy Hall (created by Kokomo Opalescent Glass) was part of a large window in the Emerson Building's auditorium. It wasn't marked for preservation since it had been enclosed, and no one knew the glass was there. Although their company told the demolition crew not to save it due to time constraints, one contractor decided to save the center section and gave it to Diane Lind. She and her husband stored it for future community use. Dr. Tom Guernsey, Fostoria BOE President, spearheaded its restoration, completed by Bigelow Glass Company in Findlay, Ohio.

Fun Fact Friday: This bell, manufactured in 1878 by the McShane Bell Foundry, was saved when the Emerson building was demolished and stored at Seneca Mill Work from 1994-2021. This important artifact was driven to the original manufacturer in Missouri by our Director of Operations, David Hossler, to be restored. The bell is now housed in our Legacy Hall.

This calendar has days we don't have school marked in red. We hope this is a good visual to help you plan scheduled appointments for your students so they can have the best possible attendance at school. #attendancematters
The Fostoria Board of Education recognized FES students Adele Lemley and Avery Settles at Monday night's BOE meeting. Adele and Avery were celebrated for receiving the Youth Asset Builder Award. Both students were nominated by their home room teachers for being positive roles models and helping others.
We had a great LEAD Rally today! It started with recognizing students with 95% attendance or higher, proceeded with a dodgeball tournament, Mr. Angelone and Mr. Daring became snowmen, and it ended with Mr. Sierra getting pied in the face. Santa even stopped in!
