Sixth graders at FES took part in Safety Forces Day! Students rotated through hands-on sessions with the Fostoria Police, Fostoria Fire, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office. They learned about ALICE, drug awareness, fire safety, and emergency response while connecting with the professionals who keep our community safe.

Students in Mrs. Davoli’s class love teaching during Fundations and helping each other with another math game- roll to 100🙂

Yesterday was IT Professionals Day, and we don't want to let another day go by without a huge THANK YOU to Mat Swortcheck, Director of Technology, and Christina Frederick, IT Specialist!
