PTO - Fancher Card Fundraiser
PTO Fancher Card Fundraiser, is our one traditional big fundraiser as an entire school where students are encouraged to sell $10 discount cards. Fancher Card Sales kicked off this week, information went home last Thursday and permission slips to sell cards started to be collected today. Permission slips can be sent in any time, and cards will go home with students this coming Friday, Sept. 6th.
WHY:
Monies raised support many activities at Fancher, such as: classroom resources & supplies, assemblies, grade level and classroom field trips, playground equipment and more! It allows us to cut down on the cost for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade field trips - like 5th grade camp.
WHEN:
Friday, Sept. 6th- Friday, Sept. 27th. All monies and unsold cards are due to Fancher on Friday, Sept. 27rd at the beginning of the school day to be eligible for all prizes!
COST:
Fancher Discount Card $10
*If you are looking to have more than 5 cards sent home at a time, families can prepay for cards - either cash or check made to Fancher PTO. Families will continue to receive 5 cards at a time once money is returned, until STOP is written on the little manila envelope!
Thank you for your support and selling Fancher Cards!

Fancher Falcons SOAR
We kicked of the new school year at Fancher Elementary teaching and learning SOAR (Safety Ownership Attitude Respect), to teach and reinforce positive behavior expectations in all areas of the school from the classroom to the playground. Each area of our school day, has a focused set up positive expectations that we teach, model, and practice - on what Safety looks like, Ownership, Attitude, and Respect.
Our SOAR matrix is at the front of your student's agenda in the pages include for the student handbook, we encourage you to review these expectations at home with your child too.
Daily our students earning Dojo Points for meeting positive expectations, we recognize students who are SOARing with our Fancher School Store, Positive Office Referrals, Positive Postcards mailed home, and SOAR Student Shout Outs each month.
We know our students are still growing and developing mentally and socially, so we recognize it is always a work in progress when teaching and reteaching expectations. We utilize restorative practices - including repairing the harm, circle ups, and more.
We appreciate your partnership in supporting our Fancher Falcons to SOAR!
