Photo Batch 2: Kindergarten at Liberty Hill Farm!
Kindergarten had an amazing time at Liberty Hill Farm! This year, we tracked the growth of a calf that was born there named Pollywonka with Discover Dairy's Adopt a Calf program. We were all so excited to be able to finally meet her on our trip. Students were able to bottle feed the calves, milk the cows, pet the goats and, of course, play with the barn cats! It was a wonderful experience! Thank you Liberty Hill Farm!
Were you lucky enough to catch students from kindergarten and fourth grade present at the school board meeting Monday night? They talked about our all school field trip to pull invasive species. They did an awesome job speaking in front of board members and staff members! Nice job, CES students!
Last Wednesday, May 17th, CES held their Celebration of Learning. It was a great evening of sharing with parents and community.
FHUHS varsity boys soccer coaches, Tim Dayton and Dave Carrabino, will hold a summer soccer program beginning Monday, June 19. Training will be held 6:00-8:00 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (except July 3) on the soccer training field at the high school.
High school aged players will play 4-8 scrimmages against teams from other schools. Middle school aged players will play 2-4 scrimmages. The program is free of charge, apart from a fee to cover the cost of referees, and is open to boys entering 7th grade in the fall and older.
Coaches Dayton and Carrabino are dedicated to helping build fitness, develop the skills, and acquire the understanding of the game necessary to be a soccer player. Even if you have little or no experience, come on out. They're there to teach.
