Fiske Families,

Congratulations to our Fitness and Health Teacher, Christina Gerst, and the Fiske Falcons for raising $2,142.24 for the American Heart Association.  Your donations are truly appreciated and will benefit so many.

A huge thank you to  Becca Sisitsky and  Dorota Strzelecki for bringing back our Bingo Night.  It was amazing to see so many friendly faces coming together to have fun and raise money for our school. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this such a successful evening.

Thank you to the O’Reilly family for the tasty teacher treats this week.

Please remember that Tuesday, March 29th is an early release day for parent/guardian teacher conferences. Students will be dimissed at 12:00.

Field Day is Back!

This year Field Day will be Wed. May 18th (rain date is 6/8)

  •     Session 1 for K’s, 1st and 2nd grade classes is 8:45 -10:10 a.m.

  •     Session 2 for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classes is 10:20 -11:40 a.m.
