Fiske Families,
On Wednesday, the Fiske Falcons gathered for an assembly focused on what it means to be a S.O.A.R.ing Fiske Falcon. Students and teachers shared how following the S.O.A.R. expectations – Self-Control, On Task, Achievement, and Respect—makes Fiske a better place for our community. It was clear that students appreciate these expectations and recognize their positive impact on our school community. Ask your child about S.O.A.R. and what it means to be a S.O.A.R.ing Fiske Falcon!
PTO BOOK CLUB-Monday, February 10 at 7:00 p.m.
Technology and its impact on children is a topic that concerns us all. Join us for the first Fiske PTO Book Club on Monday, February 10, at 7:00 p.m. in the library. We will be discussing The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. We look forward to a thoughtful and engaging conversation!

We have many items in the lost and found. If one of these items belongs to your child, please have them retrieve their item at the lost and found table.
A Message from our Fitness and Health Teacher, Mrs. Gerst.
I am excited to share that the American Heart Association’s “Kid’s Heart Challenge” is happening in all Fitness and Health classes throughout the month of February. During Fitness and Health classes students will be participating in many jumping activities. Students will use short ropes, long ropes, mini trampolines, jumping bands, low hurdles, skip-its, and many other fun pieces of equipment. Please have students wear sneakers for safe foot and ankle development-Thank You!
There is an option for families to donate to the American Heart Association. Over the last 8 years, Fiske Families have raised $30,000 This part is completely voluntary. This funding goes to help those who were not born with healthy hearts.
Fundraising forms are being sent home with your children or you can scan the QR code from this link.
Highlights of the program are teaching students about Hands only CPR to the song Stayin Alive! As well emphasizing how jumping is one of the best forms of exercise for our hearts. Thank you for all of your continued support of our Fitness and Health programs:)
Cheers to a Heart Healthy 2025
