Giddy Up, FWE! 🐎🌹
Mrs. Waters and Ms. Altman's classes joined in a fun and festive Kentucky Derby Race on Friday! With help from Mrs. Edwards, each student designed their very own creative race horse—made out of pool noodles! 🏇✨
Our amazing occupational therapist, who’s originally from Kentucky, brought a touch of home to Fred Wild Elementary by organizing this special event. Several exciting races took place, and even the staff joined in on the fun!
It was a day full of laughter, learning, and racing memories. 💫🏁

🏀 March Madness Fun at Fred Wild Elementary! 🎉
Mrs. Moesching and Mr. Julien made a friendly March Madness bet... and let's just say, Mrs. Moesching clearly knows her basketball! 🧠⛹️♀️ Her pick took the win in the National Championship 🏆 — which meant one thing... Mr. Julien had to rock a Gator shirt for the day 🐊👕 — and he wore it with just a little bit of pride 😅 (okay, maybe a lot of laughter too! 😂🤣)
We love some good-spirited competition and school fun 💙📚 — who's ready for next year?! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
