During the month of February, our elementary PE teachers, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Eberhardt, brought the excitement of the Winter Olympics to life with a variety of fun and active games. Students had the chance to try creative versions of bobsledding, curling, and speed skating right in the gym. They worked on teamwork, balance, coordination, and sportsmanship while learning about different Olympic events. It was a great way to keep students moving, engaged, and excited about staying active during the winter months.







Fillmore Central 2nd graders and preschoolers brought the heat to our very own Winter Olympics! From flag designing to events like bobsledding, hockey, and snowball throwing, the day was packed with teamwork and BIG smiles. We wrapped up with a special medal ceremony to celebrate our amazing athletes and their incredible Olympic spirit! 🏅❄️

Kristi's preschool class did a Dental/Healthy Teeth Study. We expanded our language by learning new words like plaque, cavity and hygienist. We learned about what things are good or bad for our teeth and that brushing our teeth for 2 minutes, 2 times a day keep our teeth healthy. We had a Dental Office dramatic play area where we pretended to be the dentist, hygienist, or patient. We finished our study with a real dental hygienist visiting our morning and afternoon sessions.










Today, our freshmen participated in the annual Reality Fair, an interactive event designed to help students practice budgeting and managing expenses based on their anticipated future salaries.
The purpose of this event is to encourage students to thoughtfully consider the lifestyle they envision for themselves and evaluate whether it aligns with their desired career choice.
We were fortunate to have seventeen community members generously volunteer their time to share their knowledge and real-world experiences, providing valuable insight and guidance to our students.
