Fiske Falcon
Fiske Families,
Well the amount of snow surprised us! That is New England! At the start of the year it was announced in the reopening plan that we would try to eat outside as much as possible, but on cold days we practice social distancing protocols and eat inside the classroom. Getting outside is a priority for Mrs. Gerst so students had Fitness and Health under the tent today and there were smiles all around. I joined a game or two and had a Fisketastic time!

Thank you to the PTO and all the room parents for providing our students with the fun fall mask project. The children absolutely loved decorating the masks and are excited to wear them to school.
Parents if you are dropping off items for your child, please call the office and let Mrs. Drayton know you will be leaving the item on the bench. Mark the item with a post-it or label with your child’s name and homeroom. These items will be retrieved and brought to your child.
See the attached communication from our School Nurse, Betsy Hindmarsh, regarding school health reminders.
