Kindergarten has been learning about our five senses this week! In Miss Hicks' class we used every sense: - Touch 🤲 - Taste 👅 - Smell👃 - Hear👂 - See 👀 We used our senses to investigate a pickle🥒! Some friends already knew they liked pickles, some found out they liked pickles, and others found out they might not eat a pickle again. Whatever the outcome is, it's always fun to try something new!

Eighth graders dressed up as Greasers and Socs to "rumble". Classes outlined each of the "gangs" characteristics and compared them to each other only to end up realizing they all watched the same sunset🌅✨

The Forreston FFA Chapter is gearing up for its annual Test Plot Dinner and Awards Night on Monday, November 17, 2025, and they're inviting the community to join the fun. This year’s event, held at FJSHS Cafeteria, will feature a new and exciting Community Soup Cook-Off. The evening is the chapter's opportunity to present the results and findings from their hands-on corn test plot—a valuable learning experience for the students. The program, which begins at 6:45 PM, will also celebrate the winners of the Bocker Ruff Grain Marketing Competition and publicly thank the local farmers, corn dealers, and community members whose donations made the plot a success. Battle of the Bowls: The Soup Cook-Off Community members and attendees are invited to enter their best soup for a chance to win cash prizes of $100 for first place and $50 for runner-up. The Soup Cook-Off tasting will take place from 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM. For a $5 ticket, attendees will receive four cups of soup to sample, dessert and a drink, allowing them to cast their vote for the "Best Soup." All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Forreston FFA Chapter. “The test plot dinner is always a great night to share what we’ve learned, but we wanted to add an element that gets the whole community involved,” said Levi Bocker, Forreston FFA Sentinel and Test Plot Chairman. “We’re excited to see what amazing soups our community can bring!” Event at a Glance: What: FFA Test Plot Dinner & Community Soup Cook-Off When: Monday, November 17, 2025, from 6:00 PM Where: Forreston High School Cafeteria, enter through door #15 Soup Tasting: 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM ($5 per ticket) Plot Dinner Program: Begins 6:45 PM For more information on the event, purchase advanced tickets, or to enter a soup, please contact Advisor Kelley Parks by calling the school or kparks@fvdistrict221.org.

Fifth graders became detectives for the morning as they worked together to solve a mystery and identify a suspect by solving math problems that involved adding and subtracting mixed numbers.
