A BIG Week at Fletcher
This was a BIG week at Fletcher. If you miss school, you miss out! On Monday, the swingin' Friar, two members of the Pad Squad, Area Superintendent Dr. Cazary, and Board Trustee Barrera visited to celebrate our 2nd place finish in the attendance improvement competition. Remember, TODAY is the final day to reserve your tickets for the Padres game on Memorial Day- May 27th. On Tuesday, our 5th graders sang, strummed, drummed, and played their hearts out at their end of the year recital. Thank you to Instructor Butler and Mr. Muña for all their patience and hard work with our Falcons this year. They sounded phenomenal!
On Wednesday, the School Site Council voted to absorb the responsibilities of the school Wellness Committee. We then discussed updating our wellness policy for the 2024-2025 school year to improve student safety and nutrition for next year. Starting in August, students must wear appropriately fitting, close-toed shoes with a fully enclosed ankle. Additionally, students will be limited to bringing one bag of chips or corn puffed snacks no larger than 1.5oz. These may only be consumed at morning snack, lunch, or after school.
Today, author, Helen Wu, visited our school to read her book, Tofu Takes Time to our students and talk about the writing process. The students thoroughly enjoyed her story and learning all about what it means to be an author.
Next week starts off with our FINAL VAPA day of the year. The teaching staff will spend their release time planning out the collaboration calendar for next year and setting student achievement targets to monitor throughout the year. Thursday is OPEN HOUSE! See the flyer for more details. This year families will have the opportunity to sit down with Principal Friedenberg, learn about some tips and tricks for home personal finance, and work out with their students on the blacktop with Coach Everson. It's also our last FULL week of school. Can you believe it? We're so proud of our Falcons and their tremendous effort this year.

This week's Student of the Week is Vivienne in Ms. Wade and Mrs. Sperry's UTK class. We have seen so much growth in Vivi’s academic skills, such as identifying letters and numbers. Vivi is such a great friend and has created long lasting friendships. Vivi is always ready to work and try new things. She’s a happy, cheerful student and we all love Vivi! Thank you, Vivienne, for being such an incredible Falcon by exemplifying what it means to be a leader at Fletcher Elementary School!
