๐ŸŒŸ Kindergarten Engineers at Work! ๐Ÿ—๏ธโœจ

Our Felix A. Williams kindergarteners had an amazing time in the PLAYS Lab as they explored a hands-on construction challenge!

Students worked together to plan, build, and problemโ€‘solve just like real professionals in the field. We talked about the important jobs that make construction possible, including electricians, project managers, and planners, and our young learners stepped right into those roles with teamwork and creativity.

From drawing blueprints to collaborating on structures, these little builders showed big imagination and even bigger perseverance. Weโ€™re so proud of how they communicated, shared ideas, and brought their designs to life!

๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ Future creators, innovators, and community builders- right here at FAWE! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŽงโœจ Silent Disco Success! โœจ๐ŸŽง

Our Related Arts Team and PBIS Team knocked it out of the park today with the most incredible Silent Disco! From start to finish, the energy was amazing. Our students were absolute superstarsโ€”dancing their hearts out, trying new things, and showing off all the positive behavior that makes events like this possible.

It wasnโ€™t just the kids having fun, thoughโ€ฆ our teachers were right there on the dance floor, too! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ Seeing everyone (students and staff alike!) smiling, moving, and making memories together made the day truly special.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped plan, set up, and support this event. What a joyful reminder of how strong and fun our school community is! ๐Ÿ’™
