During Parent-Teacher Conferences at Lincoln Intermediate, parents had a unique opportunity to explore the Hidden in Plain View trailer, brought to us by the Rotary Club of St. Francois County. This interactive experience provided a realistic look at a teenager's bedroom, highlighting positive influences like family, music, and sports while also raising awareness about potential risk factors such as vapes, alcohol, and marijuana. We are grateful to the Rotary Club for offering this valuable resource free of charge and helping our families stay informed and proactive.

🌱🌼 Thank You, Twenty-Five Gardeners! 🌼🌱
We are incredibly grateful to the Twenty-Five Gardeners garden club for awarding Amanda Kuhlman from Dayse Baker Learning Center a $500 grant! This generous support will help Amanda continue the important work in the school’s Community Garden, expanding opportunities for students to learn, grow, and thrive through hands-on gardening experiences. 🌿👩🌾
This summer, Mrs. Kuhlman’s students have embraced the benefits of gardening, from learning about healthy eating and environmental stewardship to discovering how growing their food can improve their [physical and mental health. Thanks to the Twenty-Five Gardeners' donation, they will soon see even more growth—both in the garden and their personal development.
Here's to nurturing future gardeners and lifelong skills! 🌻💚 #CommunityGarden #GrowingTogether #DayseBakerLearningCenter #ThankYou #StrongSchools #StrongCommunity

It's Wellness Wednesday! Did you know that the FSD has a fantastic health and human services team comprising nurses, counselors, physical education teachers, social workers, our safety director, and school resource officers?
Our Health and Human Services team gathered on October 11th for a full day of professional development focused on enhancing the safety and well-being of our school community. The day was centered on strengthening wraparound services to support safe behaviors and address mental health needs.
Dr. Moniz joined our nurses for an insightful session while our substitutes received crucial safety training. Our Director of Safety also engaged in professional development led by a cybersecurity expert to safeguard our students and staff further.
