Congratulations to FES 8th graders Hope and Amelia! We are so proud to say that two of our students were honored (at Delaware Valley Hgh School) for their academic achievements as part of the 35th Annual Elementary School Honors Ceremony. Kudos to our students, their favorite teachers (Ms. Wirasnik & Mrs. Thompson), and their supportive families! #alwaysaterrier
A huge shoutout from Mr. H! 🎉 To all of our amazing Pre-K through 2nd grade students—thank you for being such incredible cheerleaders this testing season! Your kind words, thoughtful cards, and uplifting daily announcements brought smiles and motivation to our testing students. Way to go, Terriers! #alwaysaterrier
Summer Scholars! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Summer Scholars Academic Support Club, a fantastic new opportunity to keep young minds active and growing over the break! Led by our dedicated and inspiring Mrs. Thompson, this club is designed to help students maintain and strengthen their academic skills in a fun, engaging environment.
Summer is a time for FUN—and learning can be part of that fun! We believe in the importance of keeping skills sharp, and this club will help our students return confident and ready to shine in the fall. Let’s make this summer a season of growth and excitement!
Mr. H and Mrs. Thompson

Good Afternoon Parents!
A friendly reminder that FES is taking part in The Hatch, ArtYard’s free family-friendly festival featuring colorful costumes, upbeat musical performances, a community procession, and a towering egg, at 2 PM on Saturday, May 17.
Grade 5 students who created bird puppets during our ArtYard field trip last month – and anyone else interested in dressing up in a bird costume for the event! – are invited to hatch out of the egg as part of the program.
“FES hatchlings” dressing up as a bird or flying their bird puppet should arrive for the parade line-up promptly at 1 PM at ArtYard and find the FES flock.
Spectators who prefer to watch the event can arrive ahead of the 2 PM festival start time along ArtYard’s courtyard and the rail trail.
We are so excited to have this opportunity to participate in this event and have our students show off their FES spirit and AMAZING birds!
Hope to you see you there,
Mr. H, Ms. Hurley, and Ms. Meghan (ArtYard)
Happy School Nurse Day, Nurse Amy! THANK YOU for all of your support to FES students & staff. It is very much appreciated! #alwaysaterrier
Join Us for Children's Mental Health Awareness Day 2025 – May 8th
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day 2025 will be observed on Thursday, May 8th. This year’s theme, "Let's Grow Together," highlights the collective journey of promoting mental health and well-being for children. It's a powerful reminder that by working together, we can create a supportive environment where all children can thrive.
This annual observance is part of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of mental health, especially in children. On this day, we focus on the mental health needs of children, spark meaningful conversations, and work to break the stigma surrounding mental health struggles.
We encourage everyone to wear green on Thursday, May 8th, as a symbol of solidarity and support for children’s mental health. Your participation will help raise awareness and show children that their emotional well-being matters.
Children’s mental health is vital to their overall development and success. Early intervention and open dialogue are crucial to ensuring children receive the support they need. By observing this day, we emphasize the importance of mental health and inspire action toward building a supportive, inclusive, and understanding environment for all children.
Let’s come together to raise awareness, support one another, and create a world where every child’s mental health is a priority. Wear green on May 8th and be part of the movement to help children grow stronger together!
The next meeting of the Centennial Celebration Committee is scheduled for Thursday, May 8th at 6:00 PM. Come join us to help plan the birthday party of the century! We hope to see you there!
