Hello Fisher families:
We are very pleased to announce that Victor Pacini, an author, motivational speaker, and a survivor of sexual abuse, will be returning to Fisher next week on February 1 and 2 via Zoom. These Be Seen and Heard 2.0 assemblies are a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program. Each grade level will view the assembly with their given grade.
Erin’s Law requires schools to implement age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades Pre-K through 12; as such, our District will host a virtual parent night on January 31 for families to preview the assembly information.
Please see additional information below.
Thank you,

Dear Fisher Families,
On behalf of the Home & School Club, Music Boosters, and Fisher teachers and staff, I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to all the parents who have volunteered their time this school year. We've asked a lot of our families. In addition to monetary donations to One Community, parents have given their free time and energy to help our students in so many ways. Here are just a few examples:
- Sorting and selling PE clothes
- Standing in the hot sun helping kids enjoy themselves at Camp Trojan
- Managing the school photo days process
- Supervising students through the Parents on Campus program
- Processing attendance/tardy slips
- Helping hands for copying, laminating, deliveries to classrooms, etc.
- Helping at the book fair
- Sorting and fitting music performance attire
- Setting up and cleaning up concert equipment (those acoustic shells are heavy!)
- Filming dance performances
- Helping proctor COVID testing
- Helping at vaccination clinics
- Collecting content and writing this newsletter every single week!
We are a busy community of parents, but I am humbled by your generosity. Thank you, sincerely, for all your time and energy to make our students' experience fantastic so far this school year.
With gratitude,
Heather LeRoy
Home & School Club President
