The Center for Advance Professional Studies (CAPS) provides selected St. Charles County high school students hands-on experience as they explore career interests and develop interpersonal skills. This week we spotted CAPS students networking at the St. Charles Regional Chamber of Commerce and conducting a faculty focus group at Emge Elementary. Building the workforce of tomorrow one connection at a time. #FZEquipToExcel

Welcome to Moto Monday: Inspiration from our hallways and classrooms.
How do you feel when we say: "6th-grade math"? West Middle School teacher Becky Van Sant wants you to feel empowered, which is why she has this message posted just inside her classroom door for students to see each day:
It is okay to:
Be yourself
Ask for help
Not know it all
Make mistakes
Have hard days
Feel your feelings
Start over again

Connecting with our community is a priority, which is why we have sent quarterly newsletters to thousands of mailboxes. But, as the latest edition went to print, our vendor notified us that portions of our district are no longer covered by this service. We strive to connect with all of our neighbors, but printing and mailing are becoming cost prohibitive. We are searching for other services to continue to provide this quarterly update in print, but please encourage FZSD residents to subscribe for this quarterly electronic update.

Welcome to the Music Room! Here sound and motion are at play as a class becomes a team. Kindergarteners march to the beat of the boom-whackers while singing the welcome song and reminding each other of where to find important things, such as instruments or Kleenex. 😉 Then they have to synergize to keep “Mr. Stretchy” in the shape of a circle as they wipe, row and sway together singing the Wheels on the Bus. But, when the music stops, it’s time to hold that bubble in the hall as they head back to class. Building teams one note at a time. #FZEquipToExcel

Emge teacher Bridget Evans’ partnership with the St. Louis Blues had Louie dancing with the Stars! The NHL mascot and former player Jamal Mayers stopped by to share the Street Blues program with students and staff, encouraging all to explore opportunities in sports, practice healthy habits, stay positive in school and more. Evans says incorporating these lessons into PE classes has been an incredible way to promote self-growth and community building among students. #FZEquipToExcel
