MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear FWES Families,
Wow, that was a quick week! I wanted to thank our PTA for providing the room parent lunch to our teachers. It was so nice seeing our teachers spending time collaborating with parents on fun activities for our students.
Just a quick reminder that we have off next Thursday for Yom Kippur. For those celebrating Yom Kippur I would like to wish you and your family an easy and meaningful fast.
Happy fall to all of our Fort families and have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Mr. Mac
📆 COMING UP NEXT WEEK
Thursday, October 2- No School - Yom Kippur
