Powerful & poetic words from a 2nd grader @FSSLowerSchool after a remote-poetry lesson from her teacher.

My 3rd grader connecting with classmates and teachers, being asked to play Simon Says to make sure all tech works. Genius teaching! This is what #iSelectLearning looks like!

What #iSelectLearning looks like when presented the challenge to make something out of nothing.

[Dave Younkin @FSSLowerSchool]

@FSSHeadofSchool Nothing like a one-on-one virtual meeting with your teacher! Our teachers @FSSLowerSchool have really risen to the occasion - always focused on the kids!

Yes, that is a real Monarch. She raised it and released it.

Thank you to all who have donated to the 16th Street Garden Entrance project. This lower school naturalist (pic attached) told me she hopes our new garden will become a migratory stopping point for Monarchs. On her behalf, THANK YOU!

Our “dream of green” is coming true at FSS thanks to families who have donated to our 16th Street Garden Entrance project through the FSS online auction. I’ve wanted this to happen for 3 years now. And you all are making it happen! On behalf of the children, thank you!

Specialists’ Night @FSSLowerSchool - a chance for parents to learn (through doing) how we educate the whole child through music, physical education, and STEAM classes. Great fun!
