Congratulations to our Student of Week, Brenna Hickey! She is a freshman at Ft Dodge Senior High. Brenna has gone above and beyond in choir by learning additional music to audition for Opus Honor Choir, being a friendly face for all students, taking initiative to help an ELL student follow along with our music (without being asked by the teacher), and being a leader in her section. FDCSD is so proud of you Brenna! 🔴⚫

FDSH Career and Technical Education students celebrated their first hydroponic tower harvest of the year this week with a batch of basil pesto. 🍃🧄🧀

It’s the perfect example of how hands-on projects take learning from tower to table while connecting Culinary Arts, Agriculture, and Science.

Special shout out to the Fort Dodge Community School Foundation for supporting this innovative opportunity for our students.

Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Carter Dowling! Carter is in 5th grade at Butler Elementary. Carter is a hard worker in class and does a great job participating and asking questions. If he doesn't understand what we are learning, he lets me know and asks for help or even more practice to work on at home! Carter works well with all students- when doing group work, treats others kindly and shows leadership qualities. We are so lucky to have Carter on our 5th grade team!
Way to go Carter, FDCSD is so proud of you! 🔴⚫

Dodger Alum Sawyer Springer Inspires Student-Athletes

Sawyer Springer, a proud Dodger alum and current Fort Dodge firefighter, paramedic, and EMT, recently spoke to over 60 student-athletes at the invitation of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

His message centered on the power of perseverance, the importance of staying involved in athletics and activities, and learning from failure. Sawyer shared his personal journey, encouraging students to keep pushing forward, even when life takes unexpected turns.

“Everything happens for a reason, and even though my path was not exactly what I thought it would be, I am so glad it brought me back to Fort Dodge and the community that has given so much back to my family and to me,” Springer said.

Thank you, Sawyer, for sharing your story and inspiring the next generation of Dodgers!

Duncombe Elementary & FDCSD is very fortunate to have Shannon Grossnickle teaching and leading. Her relationship building skills with students have made a difference in the lives of countless students. She shows leadership in our school and in the community as an active volunteer who consistently shows she wants her better for our community and our schools.

Congratulations Shannon on being chosen as one of the Ten Under 40 in North Central Iowa!

Students in the Speech class at Fort Dodge Senior High are building their interpersonal communication skills through engaging activities and real-world practice. These skills help students become more confident speakers, active listeners, and effective collaborators — all of which are essential for success in school, the workplace, and everyday life.
