Happy Friday!
The holiday season is in full swing, and there's a lively atmosphere at Fowler. Despite the excitement of returning from Thanksgiving break, a snowstorm that led to an early release, and another early release today, our students and staff continue to impress! Classrooms are filled with deep learning, and our hallways resonate with the sounds of lively yet respectful kids—just as a school should be.
Many events are happening over the next two weeks. Each grade has different winter activities, but as a school, we will host our band and chorus concert next Tuesday. We kindly ask all students and caregivers to consider the following points when attending any live performance at Fowler:
Refrain from shouting your child’s name during the show to ensure everyone can enjoy the performance.
Enjoy the show quietly, saving conversations for after the performance.
Set your cell phones to silent mode to avoid distractions.
Ensure flashes are off when taking pictures to protect the performers’ safety.
Stay seated during the performance for everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
Keep the aisles clear to allow performers and the audience to move freely.
Keep little ones close by so they can enjoy the show too.
Gently remind your partner to stay engaged during the performance.
Show your support by applauding after each selection, no matter who is performing.
Celebrate your child’s efforts and success after the show—they’ve earned it!
Enjoy all the classes' work before picking up your student. Dismissal will be at the end of the show.
Move only at the end of a song instead of during the middle of one.
Let's make this a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone!
Seeking Support: We've noticed a significant increase in students bringing Dunkin' Donuts beverages to school. While the saying "America runs on Dunkin'" might hold some truth, we’d prefer it not become part of Fowler's motto! We're dealing with spills, the not-so-pleasant sharing of drinks, and students getting amped up on caffeinated beverages. Only water is allowed in class, and our teachers are doing a fantastic job enforcing this rule. However, students are storing drinks in their lockers and carrying them through the halls. Some even leave them in lockers for too long, leading to moldy, smelly messes or spills.
Let's band together to keep beverages other than water out of school and ensure our environment remains clean and welcoming!
