The Fowler Weekly
February 26-March 1
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
We are wrapping up our last week of Winter ASA programming this week and are thankful so many students participated in our After School Activities. We will have one more opportunity in the Spring season, and I would love to see continued growth and participation in after school events. We are blessed that our Foundation for Tigard and Tualatin Schools has been such a fantastic support each year and has helped us fund such a robust set of offerings for ASAs and Affinity Groups. We have a great community supporting Fowler Middle School.
I will put out a little plug to parents to check in on student social media use. We have been hearing about more Tik Tok challenges lately including those where users set fire to their hands with a variety of home supplies. Please make sure you talk to your student about the dangers of any online challenge, as many seem fun or harmless, but can cause serious damage to self or property.
Be well and be safe,
Andy
