We packed a lot of fun and learning into this beautiful February week!
🛒 Our Individual & Family Health class took advantage of the sunshine and walked to the grocery store to shop for their own lab ingredients for next week. Real-world skills in action!
☕ Our dual credit and CDE students stepped away from their screens for a little fresh air and a coffee break. Sometimes a change of scenery is just what you need!
💘 Classrooms were filled with smiles during our Valentine’s Day parties. Thank you to everyone who helped make the celebrations special for our students!
❄️ Our 1st and 3rd graders have been learning about the sports and countries of the Winter Olympics. It’s been fun to see their excitement as they explore different events from around the world!
Take a look at the photos to see all the great moments from this week!

Thank you to everyone who supported the closeup carnation fundraiser! 505 flowers were sorted, wrapped, had cards attached and were delivered to 14 grades and staff members. This was a giant undertaking but we did it. Thank you to Rustic Petals flower shop in Bismarck for helping us make this vision a reality. You never know what’s going on in Mrs. Fortney’s Art room! What a great fundraiser 💐🌸❤️

Congratulations to Slade Stevens, who has been selected as a Class B Honorable Mention for the 2026 North Dakota Academic All-State Team!
We want to share an important and exciting update to our Fessenden-Bowdon Student Handbook.
✨ Honor Students Any graduating senior who earns a 3.5 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale will be recognized as an Honor Student. Students who achieve a 4.0 GPA will be recognized as High Honor Students. These honors are calculated after the first semester of senior year, and include all high school–level courses where credit was awarded starting in 8th grade.
🎓 Valedictorian & Salutatorian The Valedictorian will be the senior with the highest cumulative GPA (rounded to the nearest hundredth) after first semester of senior year. The Salutatorian will be the senior with the second-highest cumulative GPA (rounded to the nearest hundredth). In the rare case of an exact GPA tie, co-valedictorians will be named, and the next highest-ranking senior will be named salutatorian.
We are proud of the hard work and dedication our students show every day, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements at graduation! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Week in Review at Fessenden-Bowdon!
This week our theme was Snow, Groundhog Day, and the Olympics, and our students had an amazing time learning and celebrating together!
Lower elementary kicked things off with a Parade of Nations, proudly representing countries from around the world as they marched through the halls.
Our 5th and 6th graders brought the competition with their very own Olympic events—showing off their skills, sportsmanship, and lots of enthusiasm!

Quarter 3 All-School Event Fun! 💗
Yesterday, our students celebrated Valentine’s Day a little early with a wonderful all-school event! From decorating heart-shaped cookies to reading with buddies, our hallways were full of smiles and sweet moments.
Students also visited a special station to create Valentine cards for residents at our local nursing home, and another station where they enjoyed some fast-paced minute-to-win-it games.
One of the best parts of the day was seeing our older students spend time with our younger learners.
We love days like this that bring everyone together!

🤖 LEGO Robotics Regional Competition Recap! 🤖
Our LEGO Robotics team traveled to Minot State University yesterday to compete in the regional competition! While we didn’t qualify for state this year, the students showed great growth and improved their overall scores from last season.
Scores are based on a combination of the robot game, innovation project presentation, robot design, and gracious professionalism, and our students worked hard in all areas. Their teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance truly stood out.
LEGO Robotics is open to students ages 9–14, and this season was a great example of learning, growth, and fun through hands-on STEM experiences.
Here’s to a great season and an even brighter one ahead! 👏🎉
