Mrs. Pecoraro’s and Mrs. Powers’s fourth grade class have been working on memoir writing where they have been focusing on stories in their lives with an important message. The fourth grade cougars invited Mrs. Townsend’s third grade class to come in and provide feedback using a TAG protocol: T- tell something you like. A- ask a question. G- give a suggestion. The cougars did a great job!
Happy Veterans Day! Check out the letters and artwork that were made by our FLS students and 3rd and 4th grade cougars! These will be sent to local veterans.
Happy Election Day! Today our 3rd and 4th grade cougars got to participate in a mock election! Students took turns being in charge of the registration table, and students participated in voting! Students had a great time, and they got to hear the results on the announcements at the end of the day!
We hope everyone was able to get out and vote safely today at the Community Center!

This month we are focusing on the theme of gratitude. Students are earning gratitude feathers whenever a teacher is grateful that a student did something. Students can also give feathers to adults whenever an adult does something that a student appreciates! Check out Gio who gave Mrs. Richardson a gratitude feather!

Happy Bus Driver/Crossing Guard Appreciation Week! We love our bus drivers and crossing guards. This week, we celebrate all that they do for our students to keep them safe.
We had an amazing group of sixth graders join us at Congin today for Unity Day! These students helped out by cleaning up the outside of Congin!
Check out these first grade cougar artists! Ms. Armstrong had students do a guided art project where they created fall birch trees. Pretty impressive!
Our cougars had a Fire Prevention and 911 information session with some local firefighters. The students learned a lot about safety and got to see firefighters in action!
Take a look at Mrs. Morowski’s kindergarten cougars! As a class, students read “The Kissing Hand” by Audrey Penn, and then students made puppets to retell the story!
Hat Day to celebrate our work with Respect! Check out all of these awesome cougars sporting their hats!
Did you know that we do video announcements each day? All classrooms get on a Google Meet link and watch a live video of announcements. Mr. Bisson goes into classrooms and does the announcements with one student until all of the students have had a chance to co-anchor, and then he moves on to another classroom. Our announcements consist of the Pledge of Allegiance, our daily mantra, the weather, any news, and we end our time with some jokes to start our day. This is a great way to build and maintain our strong Congin Cougar community! Check out these cougars from Mrs. Pecoraro’s 4th grade class doing the announcements!
Look at all of these responsible cougars! Students are earning responsibility apples at home, at school, and on the bus! We are off to a great start!
More pictures of our responsibility assembly!
In Mrs. Beliveau’s class, students read “Mad Is Not Bad” by Kelly Oriard and Callie Christensen. Students learned that it is okay to be mad and they learned how to resolve conflict productively. Take a look at these creations!
Take a look at these cougars who earned a lunch bunch with Mrs. Armstrong and her intern Ms. Conlogue! Students get to earn these lunches by following directions and by being great cougar role models.
Our Cougars are still focusing on respect this month and they are doing a great job earning their rays of respect. Check out these bulletin boards around our school to remind our students of respect. Mrs. Wellman created one with examples of how students can be respectful, and Mrs. Powers created one about respecting people’s names. These are great reminders for staff and students about respect as we continue this theme for this month.
