Fremont-Mills Community School District - Developing the Potential of All

The Fremont Mills Knights are one of the top 5 schools advancing in the B-103 High School Radio Quiz Bowl competition. The Knights defeated HTRS (Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer) 1-0 this morning and will be moving on in the tournament. They will play the winner of Louisville vs. Elmwood Murdock. Congratulations, Jon, Katie, Saige, and Ella. A tentative date of March 23rd has been set for their next match.

There’s something pretty special about being a K–12 building 💚 Today, our Fremont-Mills BPA students teamed up with our second graders to help build leprechaun traps, and it was the perfect example of teamwork in action! From sharing ideas to lending a helping hand, our older students stepped up as leaders while our younger learners brought the creativity and excitement ☘️ Moments like these show the true benefit of being one building—students supporting students, learning from each other, and building connections that go beyond the classroom. We’re lucky to grow, learn, and celebrate together every day!

Saige Mitchell, Cade Harris, and Broden Zimmerman, have all received the honor of being selected for All-State Speech for both of his pieces on Monday, March 30, 2026, at the University of Northern Iowa.  An outstanding performer is the highest award you are able to receive. 30% of performers earn a 1 rating at state, while less than 5% are awarded with the outstanding award to participate at All-State. To have been selected out of nearly 6,000 who started at the District level is a unique honor.  Saige Mitchell, a senior, was selected as an outstanding performer in her prose piece, "Boys".  Cade Harris, a senior, was selected as an outstanding performer in his prose piece, "The Dog & The Rabbit". Broden Zimmerman, a sophomore, was selected as an outstanding performer in his poetry piece, "Casey at Bat".

Eight members of our Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) chapter attended the State Leadership Conference at Drake University on March 8–9!

Students competed in a variety of events, including HOSA Bowl, Medical Spelling, Research Poster Presentation, Surgical Technician, Health Career Photography, and CPR/First Aid. While there, they also connected with healthcare professionals, attended seminars, helped with service projects, voted for state officers, and participated in the Anatomage Tournament.

Congratulations to Claire Hilton for placing 2nd in Surgical Technician, and Katie Howe for placing 1st in Surgical Technician and Medical Spelling!

It was a great year for our chapter, and we’re excited to return again in the future!

Due to hazardous conditions, Fremont-Mills will be closed today, Monday, March 16th, 2026. The district will be conducting a virtual learning day. Please look for information from your student’s teacher by 10:00 AM this morning.

Thank you,

6th-grade students Quentin Laumann, Reid Hetzel, and Eli  Kilpatrick presented STEM  lessons to 2nd-grade students this week at Fremont Mills.  Their lesson covered Newton’s Third Law of Motion.  Students listened and learned about force and thrust.  Students also engaged in a STEM activity by making balloon rockets.  6th-grade students used their “soft skills” like communication, teamwork, adaptability, and flexibility, to name a few.  These skills are essential life and work skills that are highly valuable in helping improve leadership qualities 

The Fremont-Mills Speech Department recently hosted a special dinner to honor former FM All-State Speech students and coaches. It was a great evening celebrating the program’s history and the people who helped build it. Our current speech students had the opportunity to perform their contest pieces for these alumni and coaches and received valuable feedback as they prepare for the State Contest next Saturday. It was a meaningful night of learning, encouragement, and tradition as past and present members of FM Speech came together to support the next group heading to state!

Good luck to All-State Dancer Brookelynn Billingsley as she performs at the Iowa High School Girls Basketball Tournament. Brookelynn will be performing on Friday during the pregame at 5:40 PM and the pregame on Saturday at 2:15 PM.

Please consider donating blood next Wednesday at the First Christian Church.
