Spring Open House
What a wonderful event! My favorite thing about our Fletcher Family is that you all show up BIG for our events. I love seeing all of you here in classrooms enjoying the work from the students and teachers. Thank you all for your support and thank you to PTA for our incredible book fair and taco truck!
iFly
Our 3rd-5th grade students had the opportunity to go to iFly last Friday. Students participated in an interactive STEM lesson where they predicted, described, and analyzed why objects fly at different velocities. Students then got to experience sky diving in their air tunnel. This was organized by Project LEAAP and the DODEA Grant that we are a part of and in thanks to a donation by the Nice Guys foundation.
Leader in Me
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
We will have our last Soaring Higher awards this Friday! We are excited to continue with the Leader in Me program next year and continue building leadership skills in our students!
Counseling Corner
1) All students with Pronto cards will need to renew them, as current cards may have expired. They must also verify their youth status to continue receiving youth fare benefits. You can share this video, created by students from San Diego High School, for step-by-step instructions on how to download the Pronto app and verify youth status.
2) This amazing list of resources has been put together by Casey Family Services and the Young Center to help support agencies serving immigrant families
