YOU GOT THIS! Mr. Bontempo, a member of our Positive Behavior Support Team, is moving on to a new endeavor, and our students made sure to send him off in true FES fashion. They had the opportunity to applaud him, thank him, and share kind, encouraging words just as he has done for them over the past few years. Mr. Bontempo’s positivity, support, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our students and supported our school culture. He will truly be missed, but we are so excited for what lies ahead for him. Best of luck, Mr. B! #alwaysaterrier

🌟 Making a difference at FES! We are thrilled to celebrate Gwen Taffera, a Delaware Valley High School student who is already making a BIG impact in the world of education.

A Turkey Bowl to Remember! Each year, our amazing local Police and Fire Department teams up with our 7th and 8th-grade students for the ultimate friendly, yet always fiercely competitive, flag football showdown. This year’s game brought nonstop energy from the opening kickoff to the final whistle, including Wyatt’s memorable coin toss, which set the tone for an unforgettable matchup! Game Highlights had the sidelines buzzing with electric plays from Robert on defense, Myles on offense, a “Beckham-like” catch from Director DeWire, scoring bursts from Atheras, Lugo, Coletta, and DeWire, clutch contributions from Hailey, Logan, Isaac, Cristiano, Ronin, Mr. Sklar, Mrs. Thompson, and Mr. Nohe, and a dramatic late-game interception by Mr. H to seal the Red Team victory! A tremendous THANK YOU again to our local officers and fire department for showing up for our students, not just today, but all year long. Your dedication, mentorship, and enthusiasm make this one of the most anticipated events for our students! Happy Thanksgiving from your FES family! #alwaysaterrier
