Dear FES Staff & Families,
A lot has been happening at school since you left for summer vacation. Here are some of the highlights we wanted to share with you:
Playground: The installation of the new playscape is complete and ready to enjoy! Cole Orsini was excited to show you how much fun you'll have at recess now.
Updated Student Furniture: In July, New London Public Schools generously provided free furniture for students and teachers. We were able to secure two 20-ft truckloads of items for our classrooms! Tyler, Brian, and Gary did an outstanding job transporting and moving everything we selected.
Learning Spaces: All classroom moves are complete, and cleaning/updating are underway. Tyler, Brian, Gary, and Makaila are working hard to ensure your learning spaces are ready for your return!
Main Office and Cafeteria: Joanne and Mary in the main office have been diligently supporting our newly enrolled and returning families while preparing everything teachers and students need for a successful start to the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Joanne has been getting the cafeteria ready for FES to operate independently again.
We can't wait for you to experience all the exciting changes when you return!
Thank you, Joanne, Mary, Tyler, Brian, Gary, and Makaila for making our school an amazing place!
