One final thought: I again want to remind our families about E-Learning just in case weather or anything else interrupts our start to the second semester. E-Learning is the short term use of Internet-based classes. It was approved for Fenton in 2019 as a tool for continuing the learning process when coming into the building is not possible due to an emergency. If we are unable to open Fenton for one reason or another, the following will be in effect:

 

 

Fenton is on winter break through Friday, January 5. Students also have off Monday, January 8 for a staff institute day.

 

Classes resume on Tuesday, January 9. Enjoy your break!

 

Principal Sam Bentsen and Assistant Principal Julia Bray organized an awesome early graduation celebration on Tuesday, December 19 to recognize students who took extra classes and worked ahead. Congrats to our first group of alumni from the Class of 2024! Thank you for all your hard work and we invite you to visit any time you want.

 

 

 

Fenton’s Board of Education during its November 15 meeting recognized and congratulated Sophomore Josslyn Wade for finishing 16th out of 243 runners in the Class 2A IHSA Cross Country State Finals.

 

The top 25 runners are considered “All-State Runners.” Josslyn finished the 3-mile race with a personal best time of 17:48.13. Josslyn is Fenton’s first female cross country runner in known school history to earn the “All-State Runner” designation. 

 

“I want to thank all my coaches, all my teammates, my family members, and everyone else who believed in me and stood by me as I ran this cross country season. It was an amazing season,” Josslyn told the Fenton School Board. 

 

Leading up to the State Finals, Josslyn advanced with a 19.09 time at the Woodstock Cross Country Sectional and a 18:52.2 time (2nd overall) at the Kaneland Regional.

 

 

 

Students from the Fenton Band program shared the holiday spirit last Friday, December 15th with members of our community by performing at the Bensenville Community Public Library Holiday Open House. Fenton values its partnership with local taxing bodies such as the libraries, park districts, and municipalities. 

 

As we move from fall into winter, the staff of the Highlights Yearbook has decided to make last minute holiday shopping a little easier!

 

Yearbooks and senior ads (hint, hint, moms and dads) are only sold online. Search "Fenton High School" on yearbookforever.com. Use code WINTERSPIRIT for $5 off the purchase of a yearbook up until the end of winter break.
