FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Fisher Families,

Spirit Week was a great success! It was so fun to have our students and staff dress up and participate in all the fun activities that our Leadership Class planned for us. Thank you to Brooke Binkley and our Leadership students for all their hard work!

This week our Fisher 8th grade musicians are participating in the Los Gatos Music Festival, at Los Gatos High School. This is a new event that includes LGHS top ensemble musicians, and 8th grade musicians from CT English and Fisher Middle Schools. The students have been working on learning and preparing their music since early January. At the festival, they will have a short afternoon rehearsal (working with three different conductors from the middle and high schools), time to talk and socialize with the high school musicians, and have a pizza dinner together before performing 4 selections for the 8th grade parents. The combined band concert was on Tuesday, February 8th, and the combined choirs and orchestras will perform on Thursday, February 10th. Thank you to our skilled conductors, Jenny Anderson, Aryn Krijnen and Corey Miller for making this happen for our young musicians.

Again, we thank you for your continued support, especially as we navigate the COVID waters. Our goal is to ensure student and staff safety and good health.

Take care and stay well.

Mary Lonhart

Principal
