6th-grade students visited FBC to enjoy the movie Rio as part of their upcoming rainforest unit and learning experience. 🌿🦜
After the movie, students worked in small groups of 3–4 to design and build their own paper airplanes. They then competed in three fun challenges:
✈️ Distance
🎯 Accuracy (hitting the target)
⏱️ Hang time
It was a great hands-on day of learning, creativity, and friendly competition as they prepared for their rainforest study and upcoming tours!

🏃♂️ Today is the 37th Annual Lions Club Track Meet! 🏃♀️
The meet kicks off at 9:00 AM, with the awards ceremony expected around 2:00–2:30 PM.
Please remember to send sunscreen and a blanket with your student so they can stay comfortable throughout the day. We are excited for our 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students to participate in the 37th Annual Lions Track & Field Meet!! This is always a fun and memorable day for our students, and we look forward to a great event.
Please review the important information below to help ensure a smooth and successful meet:
No Phones (Missouri State Law)
Students are not allowed to have phones out during the event. They may keep them in their backpacks, but phones cannot be used. If a student needs to contact a parent, they may ask a teacher for permission.
Signing Students Out
If you plan to take your child home from the meet, you must sign them out with school staff.
Leaving After Sign-Out
Once a student is signed out, they must leave the track meet with their parent/guardian at that time.
Good luck to all our athletes! 🎉
Happy National School Principals Day, Mr. Goans! 🦇
