Santa flew in to visit with the preschoolers yesterday.
Congratulations to the November 2023 student of the month recipients for grades 2-5!
Mr. Steege's class with their CO2 cars. Willow E was #1 overall in Design and Craftsmanship, followed by Blake B and Lillian K. Honorable Mention went to Emille S, Paige S, Myles B, and Violet P. Paige S had the fastest car. Her hot dog inspired design earned her the title, "Queen of Speed".
Thank you to all that contributed to our Food Drive. All these donations will help many fill their pantry's over the holidays.
1st Graders are doing Christmas STEM activities and Christmas Science experiments this week. This Jingle Bell STEM activity's goal was for the students to figure out how to quiet the jingle bell using feathers, cotton balls, and paper each individually and then combined...they had to figure out what worked the best to quiet the bell.
Thank you Brittany Feller and family for the generous donation in honor of baby Dylan. We were able to purchase brand new recess equipment with the donation! The kids are excited!

FEBRUARY 2024 CLASSES
Play is so vital to a child’s life and interactive play with a special adult in the child’s life is even more valuable. We know schedules are busy and sometimes play is the last thing we have time for. Therefore, we are giving you the awesome space (our Early Ed room in Brandon) and the time to bring your children for some quality play time. Not able to come as a parent, this would be a great class to make some special memories with grandparents.
These classes will meet Monday’s from 2:00 – 2:40 for babies under 1 yr. of age
3 – 4:30 for children 8 yrs. of age and younger
February 5 – Special activity – Making Valentines
February 12 – Special activity – Fergus Falls Children’s Librarian Visits
February 26 – Special activity – Surprise?????
No registration is needed for these classes. If you are already enrolled in ECFE the classes are free. If not, each class is $5.00 per family. A snack is included.
