Yesterday, our students celebrated Valentine’s Day a little early with a wonderful all-school event! From decorating heart-shaped cookies to reading with buddies, our hallways were full of smiles and sweet moments.
Students also visited a special station to create Valentine cards for residents at our local nursing home, and another station where they enjoyed some fast-paced minute-to-win-it games.
One of the best parts of the day was seeing our older students spend time with our younger learners.
We love days like this that bring everyone together!
We are incredibly grateful for our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Cherry Heinz. Thank you for the care, guidance, and support you provide to our students every single day. You make such a difference!

What is E.S. Killie Scores for Scholars?
For every point the HWC Girls or Boys Basketball Varsity team scores at a home game (in Fessenden), each sponsor donates $1.00. Multiple individuals or families can sponsor the same game. We are looking for at least 10 sponsors per game!
What do these donations go towards? Each dollar raised from Scores for Scholars goes directly into the E.S. Killie Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is awarded to one deserving FBS senior each year.
