Fredonia Preschoolers Celebrate Green Day

FREDONIA PRESCHOOLERS CELEBRATE GREEN DAY WITH FUN-FILLED LEPRECHAUN ACTIVITIESBy Lumen IhongThe preschoolers of Fredonia Elementary School had an exciting and educational celebration of St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, March 12, as they participated in a Leprechaun Family Reunion, a specially designed learning experience filled with engaging activities. Organized by their creative and dedicated teacher, Mrs. Crookston, the event ensured that each activity was both entertaining and educational.The classroom was filled with enthusiasm as the children moved through ten interactive learning centers, each focusing on different skills such as counting, pattern recognition, writing, and letter matching. As an added motivation, each time a child completed a center, they received a small reward, encouraging them to stay engaged and excited throughout the event.From counting gold coins to cutting and pasting, recognizing letters, and stamping the letter "K," every activity allowed the preschoolers to develop essential cognitive and motor skills in a fun and interactive way. The excitement grew as they advanced through each challenge, with the promise of a special treat awaiting them at the end of the activities.As part of the celebration, the children also created their own shamrock crowns, a festive craft that allowed them to express their creativity. Proudly wearing their handmade crowns, the preschoolers embraced the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, adding to the lively atmosphere of the event.After completing all ten centers, the children gathered to enjoy a special classroom feast, where they shared green-themed snacks they had brought from home. To make the occasion even more memorable, Mrs. Crookston prepared a special treat for her “golden class”—a delightful combination of rainbow licorice, mini marshmallows, and a roll to represent the pot of gold. The thoughtful treat added a magical touch to the celebration, making the students feel even more special.The preschool program at Fredonia Elementary School is offered free of charge, ensuring that children in the community have access to quality early education. Research consistently shows that early childhood education is crucial for a child's overall development, helping build academic skills, social confidence, and problem-solving abilities before they enter kindergarten. The program takes a holistic approach, integrating literacy, numeracy, creative expression, and emotional growth into its daily lessons.As part of its mission to support early childhood learning, Fredonia Elementary will continue to offer its free preschool program next year, providing more children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for future academic success. For more information on the program and registration details, parents can contact Fredonia Elementary School’s administration office.As the Green Day celebration wrapped up, the children left with bright smiles, hands full of crafts, and memories of a joyful day of discovery.

Fredonia Schools Science Fair

Fredonia Schools Science Fair: A Celebration of Innovation and LearningBy Lumen IhongFredonia, AZ – The Fredonia Schools Science Fair, held on February 26, 2025, was a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and scientific discovery. The event brought together students, teachers, and community members for an evening filled with engaging experiments, hands-on learning, and a thrilling Egg Drop Challenge that had everyone eagerly watching.One of the most anticipated moments of the evening was the Egg Drop Challenge, which began at 5:30 p.m. Thanks to the support of the Kanab Fire Department, a 45-foot-high ladder truck was used to drop the students' carefully engineered egg-protection devices. The audience gathered outside near the school’s front doors, standing together in anticipation as each contraption was put to the test. Participants, along with their parents and teachers, had worked diligently the day before to construct their designs, with a final 30-minute adjustment period before the big drop. Cheers and gasps erupted as eggs plummeted from the towering height, some safely cushioned by their protective enclosures while others met a different fate. In an impressive display of engineering skill, 19 out of 27 eggs survived the drop, demonstrating the students' ingenuity in designing protective structures. The winners of the challenge included Emberlyn Wilmarth, Gisela Chacon, Alana Nelson, Nyhree Pikyavit-Serawop, Ezra Cram, Zoey Smith, Eliza Webster, Hunter Johnson, Connor Jensen, Lily Hamlin, Bristol Palmer, Stephen Langston, Sierra Cluff, Amethyst Bunting, Brian Humphries, Aiden Begay, Arianna Till, Lumen Ihong, and Juvyl Ihong.Beyond the excitement of the Egg Drop, the Science Experiment Competition highlighted the impressive ingenuity and scientific curiosity of students across all grade levels. The Grand Champion title was awarded to Nashton Wright, a fifth grader, for his outstanding project, “The Buzz About Electricity: DIY Electromagnetic Motor.”First place winners included Charles Jacob Lomahquahu for "Potato Battery: The Future of Eco-Friendly Electricity," the First/Second Grade Class for "Visualizing Sound Waves Using Skewers," Leah Johnson, Natalie Ashley, Lily Hamlin, and Zakerius Wilmarth for "Crystal Geodes," Quinn Till for "Charles' Law of Experiment," Josiah Chacon, Aiden Begay, Journey Tom, and McKenzie Beecroft for "Ball Launcher," the Kindergarten Class for "Cool Beans," Carrson Cluff for "Does the Type of Soil You Use Affect a Plant's Growth?"
