We had the absolute BEST time taking these little cuties bowling today since they were our top 20 fundraisers! It was the best time. We ate a LOT of pizza, had a lot laughs, and bowled until we couldn’t bowl anymore!

🩺✂️ 3rd grade Math doctors in action! Students “operated” on arrays to practice the distributive property—cutting, adding, and solving together! 🧮✨

For some students, “Can I play?” takes more than words. Poplar Grove unveiled new playground communication boards with English and Spanish words, pictures and symbols. Thank you to Eagle Scouts Trace, Teague and Mike Kindred for giving their time and skills to install them.

During its meeting, the FSD School Board and Dr. Snowden recognized FSD Artist of the Month, Mae Safar, a 2nd-grade @fssdPGES student. Mae created a beautiful Eric Carle-inspired piece in Mrs. Hamby's class. This month, PGES student art is displayed in the Central Office gallery.
