Dear Fiske Families,
There is no school on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day, a day to honor the people of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Please take time to reflect with your children about why we commemorate this day. Have a lovely weekend.
A Fisketastic thank you to Teri Ebersole and Abi Putnam for the amazing amount of work they did to coordinate and host the Fiske Used Book Fair. Thank you to the many volunteers who were there to help our students select and purchase books, and to all the families that donated an outstanding selection of books for our children to enjoy.
Thank you Fiske Float Chair Robin Knowlton for coordinating the Fiske Float. We are proud to announce the float won the Best Decorated Float Award. Go Fiske Falcons!
