FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Hello Fisher Families,

Spirit Week is in full swing! Monday started off with Pajama Day and it was wonderful to see all the students and staff that participated. Tuesday saw us with Crazy Hair and today is Copy Cat Day. We look forward to seeing students and staff dressed up for Sports Day on Thursday and in our school colors for Friday. We end Spirit Week on Friday with some fun lunchtime activities! 

Thursday is also our Lunchtime Club Fair. We are thrilled to have so many clubs running at Fisher this year. We hope your child chooses to participate!  

For our Positive Behavior of the Week Program, we are focusing on “Keep Your Hands To Yourself” for the week of October 4th. Your support is greatly appreciated. 

As we transition from summer to fall, it is important to note that October 8th is the end of our first quarter. Please look for your child’s progress report to be emailed to you on Thursday, October 14th. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher directly. 

Thank you for your continued support! 

Take care and stay well.

Mary Lonhart
Principal
