Fessenden-Bowdon Week in Review Our juniors and seniors in Mrs. Feakes’s English classes spent time reading with our 1st and 3rd grade students, building connections and sharing a love of reading across grade levels. 📕 In Kindergarten, students had fun celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with festive activities and plenty of green spirit! 🍀 Our Pre-K students got creative by designing and building their own leprechaun traps—who knows, maybe they’ll catch one next year! 🌈 And of course, everyone has been enjoying the warmer weather, taking advantage of time outside and soaking up some sunshine.☀️
