The Franklin Sherman Flash - May 28

What's Happening in Preschool?

FSES preschoolers recently enjoyed a field trip to Roer’s Zoofari in Reston.  The students fed goats, rode camels, and went on a bumpy safari ride.  A terrific time was had by all!

FSES is Getting a Salad Bar

We are excited to announce that Franklin Sherman E.S. is going to the next level of providing our students and staff with a healthier lunch!  Beginning on Thursday, May 31, we will be implementing the “Real Food for Kids” Salad Bar.  All students will select their fruits and vegetables for lunch from the salad bar.  Then they may complete their lunch by choosing either the salad bar protein and grains or the hot entrée listed on the menu for that day.  Students will practice salad bar etiquette and new procedures for the lunch line before the salad bar opens.  We are excited that our students will have so many fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from each day and look forward to joining many other FCPS schools that have had the opportunity to implement the salad bar successfully this school year!
