Fiske Families,
There will be no school on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr Day. Please take the time this weekend to talk with your child/children about the civil rights work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Is your child interested in joining the Fiske Chess Club? The Fiske Falcons are launching a chess club with WHS Student Chess Captain, Dennis Zhang. Dennis has graciously offered to come to Fiske on Mondays from 3:05-4:05 p.m. to run our own Falcon Chess Club. If you are interested in participating please email me at mcgregorr@wellesleyps.org . Our hope is to start after February Break.
