Dear Fisher Families,
Here is our final Fisher Flyer of the 21.22 school year! It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of the year already. In some respects, the time has flown by and in others, it seems to have crawled. We weathered a lot of changes and challenges and had the opportunity to celebrate many accomplishments and achievements.
We are excited to welcome our rising 6th graders and wish our rising Freshmen the best of luck in high school!
I am proud of the work our students and staff have done this year and the perseverance and commitment they have all demonstrated on a daily basis. Thank you to each and every student and our wonderful, amazing Fisher staff for an outstanding year! Your consistent and kind support of the Fisher learning community has made a positive impact on all of us, and I am truly grateful.
Thank you to Heather LeRoy and our entire Home and School Club for enriching our school and supporting our endeavors. Heather has gone above and beyond in her work for Fisher, wearing multiple hats! Thank you to Suzanne Nestor and our dedicated School Advisory Committee for providing guidance and direction to the Fisher staff. Thank you to Adrianna Calhoun and the tireless Music Boosters team for all that you do for our music program. Thank you to Mark Fanderl and all of our coaches who provided a solid after-school athletic program for our students. I would also like to thank our OneCommunity donors for your generous support of the Home & School Club, LGEF, and Music Boosters. These programs are instrumental in enriching our students' experience at Fisher.
A few of our Fisher Family members are moving on and we wish them well. I would like to thank Mr. Billy Butler and Mrs. Taruna Khanna for their dedicated work this year. I would like to wish la senora Contreras well as she joins the Los Gatos High School faculty with whom she will be teaching Spanish. And from our front office, I would like to thank Mrs. Molly Rizol for her many dedicated years at Fisher. All of you will be missed!
As we all head off into summer, I hope each of you will have some time to relax, rest, reflect and reset. We are excited for the start of the 22.23 school year, on August 18th, with a full day of Camp Trojan activities for all of our students.
Thank you again and take good care!
Mary Lonhart
Principal

The 8th grade celebration on Friday night was a smashing success! Students enjoyed dancing with the DJ, 4-way ping pong, corn hole, basketball, and giant Jenga. The New York City-themed food included pizza, soft pretzels, popcorn, home-baked cookies, a wall of donuts, and hot dogs! The students were hesitant to give up their cell phones at the door, but once they did, they were present and really enjoyed being with each other.
Many thanks to the planning committee: Bridgette Schrader, Kelly Campbell, Kathy Strahs, Karinn Harrington, and Heather LeRoy. We also appreciate those who set up, chaperoned, and cleaned up: Yasmin A, Paige T, Allison Z, Francine S, Dipti C, Shadi A, Joanne L, Kari R, Lisa C, Lillian W, Beth R, Laura L, Gitika B, Sharon H, Sue P, Lisa A, Sally P, Lucia C, Sonya M, Katie V, Lucia A, Gemma K, and Yumi H. And finally, thanks to our rockstar photographer, Betsy King, for capturing all the enjoyment on camera!
