We have a couple Thank Yous to go out! First, thank you to Sergeant Fye for stopping in last week with the K9. Second, thank you to the FHS Student Council for treating our staff with a little pick-me-up snack before Thanksgiving break and showing their gratitude for our staff!
The Floodwood School community would like to take a moment to recognize Donald "Bruddy" Olesiak. We are sad to see Bruddy leave the classroom. He has been a pillar in our FHS teaching team, but we hope this next chapter is everything he needs! We will miss his stories, booming voice and famous phrases; such as, "be my eyes now people, be my eyes," "You get an A for the day," Look here now, Yoohoo," and "Listen up, this is going to be quick" (talks for the whole hour). We wish you the best, Bruddy!

We are excited to announce that our librarian, Mrs. Ruzynski, is taking on the task of updating our schools' library. She is starting with a process called 'Weeding'.
In this process she will be removing titles that are outdated, damaged, and infrequently circulated.
Items that are removed will first be offered to staff to take for their classrooms, any titles not chosen will be sent for recycling.
We have some plans in the works to replace titles and further update the layout of the library to encourage reading and create a more welcoming place for students to study.
You're invited to join us at upcoming Wellness Committee Meetings. Virtual option will be available as well.
