Fiske Friday Update

“Honor the leap as well as the landing.” Shannon Donavan-Monti
  Fiske Families, What a WILD WEST it was!  I had a wonderful time selling tickets and getting to see so many Fiske families enjoying the day.  Thank you to Jill Fulginite and Erica Flagg for working to make this a successful event. Thank you to all the volunteers who came to run the activities and to the sponsors of the event.  This collective effort raised $30,000.00 for activities for the Fiske students.  Thank you all for taking part in the WILD WEST! This morning we were delighted to have the Brain Game program for our students.  This program was brought to us by the Fiske Creative Arts Committee.  Students and teachers participated in a game show and LOTS of dancing. Here are some pictures of the fun.     PTO Meeting The first PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30 in the Fiske library. PTO Co-Presidents Jay Staunton and Harprit Bedi will be discussing fundraising and volunteer opportunities for the PTO.  In addition, Treasurer Doug Winneg will be presenting the 2015-2016 budget.  All are encouraged to come and be a part of this incredible team of people who do so much for our Fiske students.   Art Mr. Haberstroh is working with the fifth graders on designing chairs.  Students were asked to create a 2D picture and then design a 3D model of a chair out of cardboard, tape and scissors.  Here are some examples of the work.  
  Health and Fitness News Fourth and fifth graders will begin rollerblading the week of October 5.  This is a very exciting unit for the students.  Fiske provides safety equipment and rollerblades for the unit.  Your child may bring their own safety equipment from home if they would like.
