Dear Fisher Families,
I hope you are well and have enjoyed this unseasonably sunny, gorgeous weather. This is a packed Fisher Flyer and I encourage you to take the time to read through the entire newsletter.
You should have also received a separate letter yesterday regarding the planned return to campus for Roomers and Zoomers. We are actively planning for our students’ return, pending direction from our Board based on our safety data. Your careful attention to all of these communications is essential. Please reach out with any questions you may have (mlonhart@lgusd.org).
As always, thank you for your continued support. Take care and stay well.
Mary Lonhart
Principal

Fisher families: The Fisher Library has new "Activities to Go" kits for January! This month's craft is a Torn Paper Mosaic (examples included below). Take a break from screens and try a new craft with all the materials you need. Or, if the new year has you ready to experience something new, request a Grab Bag! Grab Bags contain 3 specially selected books in the genre of your choice -- but the titles are a surprise until you open the bag. Try a different genre, or read something new this week!
Library books, Grab Bags and Activity Kits are available for pickup every Wednesday afternoon from 2-3 pm and Friday mornings from 8-9 am in front of the Fisher main office. Books and kits must be requested in advance. Browse the Alexandria catalog, then put your choices on hold. You will get an email notification (usually within 24 hours) that your books and/or activity kit is ready for curbside pickup.
