Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Mia Greiner. She is a 5th grader at Feelhaver. Mia has consistently been a great role-model for her peers. She is always upbeat and kind to everyone. Mia demonstrates amazing leadership skills by following the school and classroom expectations. Mia is fun to be around and lights up the classroom. FDCSD is so proud of you Mia!

PK-8th Conferences are next week!

Congratulations to Maci Schoenfeld!
Maci, our Special Education teacher at Butler Elementary, was presented with the Tsai Award for Excellence in Autism Education from the Autism Society!

She was nominated by Jason & Allison Drew along with their daughter Avelyn — a wonderful recognition of the positive impact she has made.

We’re so proud of you, Maci! 💙

Career Fair Day at the high school! 🎓
Students had the chance to explore careers from healthcare and engineering to farming and beyond. It’s a great way to start thinking about their futures and connect with professionals in our community!

Smoothie Lab Day was a hit! 🍓🥤
Our 6th and 7th graders mixed up some seriously creative recipes — and they all crushed it!
Check out the winning blends below 👇

Intro to Healthcare students participated in panel interviews with community members this week. These mock interviews gave students a chance to practice real-world communication and professional skills while receiving feedback from local healthcare professionals. The experience helps prepare students for future job interviews, internships, and careers in the healthcare field. We’re grateful to our community partners for taking the time to share their expertise and support our students’ growth!
