Amy Engle-Evans Receives the Jeffs’ Best Award!
The Jeffs’ Best Award was created by the Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education to highlight and celebrate the great work of our staff.On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to congratulate Amy Engle-Evans, Fairbury High School social studies Teacher, as the recipient of the May Jeffs’ Best Award!
These are her nomination statements:
Amy has gone above and beyond this year as the FEA president dealing with multiple issues: Covid, coaching, discipline issues etc.
Amy is a dedicated teacher and coach who has served FPS for many years. She is a member of the Jeff community and has spent countless hours helping the students and athletes she teaches and coaches. She is the head of the social studies department at the high school and has also mentored many teachers over the years. She would be very deserving of the award, for she is one of “Jeffs Best”
She builds relationships with her colleagues, students, and athletes. Mrs. Engle-Evans contributes to the community, in addition to the school system. FPS is beyond blessed to have Amy Engle-Evans on staff!
Schedule Your School Physical and Immunization
Jefferson Community Health and Life will be doing school physicals by appointment this year – scheduling after May 1st. They would like them to be done by August 1st to avoid a last-minute rush for scheduling. The price for these physicals will be $80, and if a UA dip is required, usually 7th grade and Kindergarten, it will be an additional $6. If you would like this to go to your insurance as a wellness exam, please let the schedulers know at the time of scheduling. Please have all forms filled out ahead of time and bring them to your appointment. Parents will need to sign a consent to treat for their child’s physical appointment. Please let JCH and L know if you have any questions.
Blue Valley Community Action immunization clinics are now scheduled for this summer!

5th Grades Show Their Creativity
5th graders in Miss Bartels’ enrichment class created projects that represented their understanding of novels that they have read. We just finished reading a two book series of “Freak the Mighty” and “Max the Mighty.” The students could pick from a variety of options that they could then create. Some of the options used were creating a board game, designing a t shirt with a scene in the book, picking out an object to design based on the book description, and making “wanted” posters for book characters!
