Good morning Fulton Families,

We’ve noticed an increase in families using our playgrounds during school hours. As a reminder, please refrain from using the school grounds between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekdays. This helps ensure a safe and uninterrupted environment for our students. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Wishing you wave of joy,

Dr. Burks, Mrs. Liwosz, & Mrs. Sillers

Generosity: Making someone’s day by giving something away

For the month of November, our character trait is generosity!

• What’s one thing you have that you could give away as an act of generosity?
