We are looking for parent volunteers to come in and read aloud to students (not your own child) from a Battle of the Book selection. We had a "trial run" this week and found that the students really benefitted from the support, and have heard from some adults that it is a rewarding experience for them as well! Click the form below to sign up and get more detailed information. The 2 dates available are December 21st and January 11th. You MUST have a valid CORI form to partcipate.

All items will be donated during the winter break, please stop by before then to find anything misplaced.

Let's ALL raise our voices together, letting EVERYONE in your family experience the joy of having THE ENTIRE FAMILY sing together, and make memories that will last a lifetime!

December 21st, 2023

6:00-6:45pm and 7:15-8:00pm

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Bring a blanket big enough to seat your family, like at a summer picnic. Stake your spot in the auditorium!

2. Your blanket is for YOUR family (and grandparents, cousins, older and younger siblings,...)

3. This isn’t a “run around with your friends” night, but rather a night to snuggle up as a family - among the larger “Fisher family” - and sing a variety of songs that are celebrated by our families here in our school. Hearing parents, grandparents, cousins and siblings sing all together brings our ENTIRE Fisher family together and gives us memories that will last a lifetime!

(PARENTS: Choose which timeslot works best for your family. Those with toddlers may wish to come to the first one in order to get their children to bed. But…it’s a “WHATEVER WORKS BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY” laidback event! I can’t wait to see you!)

To help with song selection, please fill out this very brief form:

Check out some of the fun projects Creative Arts has been doing this week for Fall Enrichment! Did you know you can make art using shaving cream? Well, you can! Ask anyone in Creative Arts and they'll tell you that they had a blast making shaving cream marbled paintings and winter globes
