We think this dissection looks like artwork!
The high school Environmental Science class dissected owl pellets last week. Owls swallow their prey whole or in large pieces, but they cannot digest fur, teeth, bones, or feathers. These indigestible things get compacted into a pellet which the owl spits out.
The students each got their own pellet which they tediously pulled apart and categorized the contents, which included rodent bones, skulls, and more!
The Lower School students always start Soup Lunch Friday with a holiday book reading with our Head of School Kara Douglass. This year's story: "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry.
Tomorrow is one of our favorite traditions here at The Fulton School: All-School Soup Lunch. Parent volunteers prepare and serve lunch so the entire student body and faculty/staff can enjoy a holiday meal together in The Keeping Room. Lunch includes turkey, cheese, and ham sandwiches, a selection of soups (including vegetarian and gluten-free soups), lemonade, and homemade cookies.
Notes: Students don't need to pack a lunch, but certainly are welcome to if they prefer :)
GAME NIGHT: Our three basketball teams play today at Maryville Christian. Middle School game starts at 4:00 pm, followed by the Varsity Girls at 5 pm, and the Varsity Boys at 6:30 pm. Good luck to all of our Eagles!
Our 1-2-3 grade class transformed ordinary paper plates into African tribal masks!
So what's all the hype around Montessori? What makes it so different?
Our Head of School Kara Douglass explains in her most recent blog post.

This morning, the preschoolers and kindergartners were amazed to discover that overnight, an elf left snowy footprints all over the classroom. They are having a blast being mini-detectives!

Have you see our chickens' new coop? It's a 6'x12' combo chicken coop crafted in Pennsylvania by the Amish. It is much bigger and sturdier than our last enclosure, plus the Chicken Middle students can easily walk in for cleaning and maintenance.
The coop was aptly named "The Local Yolkals" by John and Barbara Chapin, TFS grandparents who won the naming rights at last year's Trivia Night & Auction.

One week ago today we welcomed back a team of alumni -- literally, a soccer team's worth -- to Rawlins Field at The Fulton School for the annual Thanksgiving Alumni vs. Varsity Soccer Game. What a great afternoon to catch up (and a good deal of them are still sportin' great soccer skills).

Today is Giving Tuesday -- a movement to create an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season.
Philanthropic giving is a vital source of income that allows The Fulton School to grow, mature, and adapt to the changing need of our students. We are an independent school that operates without financial support from the state or federal government. In addition to tuition dollars, we rely on generous donations from parents, grandparents, alumni and friends to help support our programs and curriculum.
Your charitable gift makes a direct and immediate impact on the lives of our students and faculty.
$20. $250. $2,500. No matter the amount, every dollar makes a difference.
All gifts given to The Fulton School today, on Giving Tuesday, will support our Annual Fund. Click here to donate: https://goo.gl/rbbnEG
