Last week, FSES 5th graders worked together to review 4th grade science concepts while enjoying the beautiful weather. They reviewed the 4th grade units: Magnetism and Electricity, Virginia Ecosystems, and Weather and Space. They had fun discussing everything they had learned about those concepts.
Cost: $20.00 (cash or checks made out to Provine School Pictures)
There is a limited supply of extra yearbooks that will now be sold on a first come basis. You may order a yearbook by bringing cash or a check to the office until we run out of yearbooks.
Sixth graders received their yearbooks on Friday, May 31. The rest of the student body will receive their yearbooks on Wednesday, June 5.
If you have questions about whether you have pre-ordered a yearbook, please email Mrs. Gottke at MWGottke@fcps.edu.
The last PTA meeting of the school year is Wednesday, June 5, at 6:30 p.m. in the Franklin Sherman library. Free babysitting will be provided in the gym for children three years of age and older.
