The Franklin Sherman Flash - Sept. 24

What's Happening in 4th Grade?

FSES 4th graders worked together to practice rounding during math class.  Students rotated through a variety of stations to practice rounding to the tens, hundreds, and thousands.  They worked in groups to round numbers and compare answers.

Meet our New School Counselor, Nikki Bohnert!

nikki

Mrs. Nikki Bohnert is the new school counselor at Franklin Sherman Elementary School.  After graduating from Missouri State University two years ago, she and her husband moved to Virginia to be closer to family.  Mrs. Bohnert lived in Missouri for many years, but she is originally from Jersey.  Her favorite place to be is Ocean City, New Jersey, on the boardwalk.  She enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and their pug, Remy.  Mrs. Bohnert is very excited to be at Franklin Sherman, and she looks forward to getting to know the students and community.


Volunteer in the Franklin Sherman Library

If you can spare an hour or two each week, consider volunteering to shelve books in the FSES library. Our students read many volumes, and when the books are returned, they need to go back on the shelves. You can help make this happen with a small commitment of 1 or 2 hours a week.  It’s fun and rewarding, and you will get to see all of the new titles that arrive.

If you are interested, please contact me at lmalakoff@fcps.edu.

Thank you,

Lisa Malakoff, FSES Librarian
