Fiske Families,

A heartfelt thank you to all of our Fisketastic teachers for hosting parent/caregiver conferences. Preparing for these meetings requires great care and thoughtfulness to present how each child is progressing both academically and socially.

 

Please remember that there is no school on Monday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.

 

 

National Blue Ribbon Picture

This Thursday and Friday, Kristen Stoetzel and I traveled to Washington, D.C. to accept the National Blue Ribbon Award on behalf of Fiske. It was truly an honor to receive this recognition on behalf of our dedicated teachers, staff, students, and parents/caregivers. We are excited to bring this award back to our school community! Please join us on Monday, November 18, at 8:45 a.m. at the flagpole as we raise this flag of distinction. We encourage all students to wear blue or Fiske spirit wear to celebrate.

 

Around the World with Fiske We have had a wonderful response to our request for families to bring food from their cultures. We are still looking for more families to share crafts, games, and books that are meaningful in your family’s traditions. If you would like to host an activity or read aloud, please fill out this form.
