Dear Fort Families,

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Unity Spirit Week! Our students had a blast dressing up for the different daily themes. Each morning, Mrs. Kaczor and Service Council students shared an inspiring message about kindness and inclusion. HERO cards were handed out all week to celebrate students showing kindness and inclusion in big and small ways.

We’re also getting excited for our Halloween Parade next week! 🎃 The parade will begin at 2:15 p.m. in the upper parking lot. Please remember that the school building will be closed and bathrooms won’t be available to visitors, but the Field of Dreams bathrooms will be open.

If you plan to take your child home after the parade, please be sure to sign them out with their classroom teacher. Teachers will share where to pick up your child’s belongings before you go.

Wishing everyone a fun and festive weekend!

Sincerely,

Mr. Mac

Fort Washington Elementary School
