4th-grade students in Mrs. Terres' class worked with their art teacher, Mrs. Greiner, to learn how to create paper-mache sculptures. These will be turned into decorated cupcake artworks over the next couple of weeks.

Red Ribbon Week is the nation's largest and longest-running drug and violence prevention awareness campaign, recognized each year October 23–31.
Fostoria Elementary School celebrated October 26–30 with a spirit week, student goodies, informational announcements, pledges, and a coloring contest.
Students who returned pledges to make safe, healthy, and drug-free choices were entered into a prize drawing. We also recognized students who showed outstanding school spirit.
Members of Jr./Sr. High Youth 2 Youth, a student-led group promoting healthy choices and leadership, judged our coloring contest. They selected one winner per grade and two overall winners, one from PreK–2 and one from grades 3–6. The overall winners will have their artwork featured on a billboard, courtesy of HOPE in Fostoria.
A special thank you to CARSA Coalition for providing goodies for all students and prizes for our contest winners.
Thank you to our staff, students, and families for making another Red Ribbon Week fun and successful.

Hello FES Parents/Guardians and Families

We wanted to share a few of the fun things happening during Red Ribbon Week.

Along with Spirit Week, students can participate in a coloring contest. There will be one winner from each grade and two overall winners (PreK–2 and 3–6), whose artwork will be featured on a billboard, courtesy of HOPE in Fostoria and CARSA Coalition.

Be on the lookout for Red Ribbon Week pledge forms coming home. Students who review the pledge with an adult and return it with both student and parent/guardian signatures will be entered into a prize drawing.

All coloring pages and signed pledges must be turned in by Friday, October 30.

We look forward to celebrating Red Ribbon Week with our students and staff.

Today, our 6th-grade students—and their teachers!—had the opportunity to learn directly from our local first responders through a variety of hands-on small-group activities and demonstrations.

Students also gathered for some exciting whole-group demonstrations, including a ProMedica Air Ambulance, K-9 demonstration, drone demonstration, and Taser demonstration.

A HUGE thank you to all of the local first responders and community partners who took the time to share their knowledge, skills, and experiences with our students. We appreciate everything you do for our community and for making today such a memorable learning experience!

Safety Forces Day participants included: Fostoria Police Department, Fostoria Fire Division, ProMedica, Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, Wood County Sheriff’s Office/SWAT Team, and the Seneca County Dog Warden.

Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to thank all of the custodians who help keep our district facilities looking their best!

Throughout the year, we welcome many alumni back for tours, and they are always amazed by how great our facilities look and how well they are maintained.

And right now, we’ve made it to the FINALS of the WTOL Big Board Friday Stadium Challenge — with the winner being announced tonight!

From our classrooms and hallways to our athletic facilities and everything in between, none of it would look the way it does without a strong, dedicated team working behind the scenes.

Thank you to our custodians for the hard work and pride you put into our district every day!
