Throughout the year the Fiske PTO volunteers consistently support our students and teachers every day. The entire Fiske Staff is incredibly appreciative of all the PTO does for our school. We invite all PTO volunteers to join us for a PTO Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on Wednesday, May 31st at 8:45 a.m. in the Teachers’ Room. At 9:15 a.m. we will adjourn to the library to hear from our Math Coach, Lisa Humphrey, and Literacy Specialist, Kristin Stoetzel, to share ways your children can access Dreambox and Raz-Kids this summer.

Fiske Field Day Reminder
Please remember that Field Day is Friday May 26th, rain date is Tuesday June 6th .
Field Day is an event for students to participate in fun and challenging activities with their class. Your child will be outside in the sun for an extended period of time. Please remember to send them with sunscreen on, a hat, sneakers and loose and comfortable clothes and water bottle with their name on it. I have been reminding the children about these tips as well.
