This weekend Sheboygan Falls Middle School FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League teams, Atomic Toasters and Lego Ducks, competed at the FIRST Lego League competition at LTC. The game consists of two parts; an innovation project and the robot game. Both teams represented Sheboygan Falls Middle School with pride. Congratulations to the Atomic Toasters for advancing to the next level and to the Lego Ducks for an amazing rookie year!

5th grade STEM students are learning basic electrical schematic symbols, drawing circuits, and then testing whether they work on a PHET simulation on their Chromebooks.
Help us celebrate American Education Week next week!
Grade 6 students took their knowledge of ratios and proportions to the lab today to collectively make a cheesecake. The students showed off their math skills to Elkhart Lake teachers who were observing our math resource Illustrative Mathematics. We love our district to district connections!
6th grade STEM students are into their computer programming unit with LEGO SPIKE Kits. They have to build and program movable components to perform specific tasks.
SFMS is thankful for Mrs. AP and her service. Today she shared some of her experiences with her classes and even let them try on some of her gear 🇺🇸
Friday ended with an all-school celebration: Student-staff volleyball and the Masked Dancer 🏐
Random Lake teachers visited our 5th grade classrooms today to observe our Bridges in Mathematics program. They are furthering their own knowledge on what this resource looks like and sounds like.

REMINDER: Join us on Monday, November 11th, beginning at 9:25 AM to honor and celebrate the service of veterans and their families. The program will feature student speakers who will share readings on the sacrifices made by our veterans. In addition, the school's talented music students will perform patriotic selections. A guest speaker will also be present to address the audience, offering inspiring words of gratitude and remembrance. Following the program, the community is invited to observe a 21-gun salute outside of the building near the flag. This solemn tribute will serve as a fitting conclusion to the Veterans Day observance. Community members can enter the building through the front doors on the southwest corner of the High School beginning at 9:10 AM.
Students enjoyed a "spooky" still-life drawing during art class! #SFMS
According to preliminary election results, the two capital referendum questions on the ballot for the School District of Sheboygan Falls fell short of being approved by voters in our community.
As a result, we will not be moving forward with a series of Elementary and High School improvement projects. We also will not move ahead on recreation and athletic improvement projects at this time.
No matter the outcome, we have had some great conversations about the future of our schools over the past several months. We want to thank our community for your thoughtful questions and feedback throughout this process.
Our District leadership team and Board will now begin re-examining our needs and looking at potential alternative solutions. We hope you stay engaged as we embark on this important effort.
6th grade students were able to use the VR Headsets in a recent math lesson! #SFMS
8th grade students have been working on their paper airplane designs! #SFMS
