Dear Fort Families,

It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day is a week from tomorrow. Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately over the next few days with the mini heat wave approaching.

We are also looking forward to Field Day on Friday! The entire school will head to the Field of Dreams at 9:15 a.m. for the start of the event. Please make sure your child wears the correct color shirt on Friday (red or blue).

If your child brings a water bottle, please make sure their name is clearly written on it. Many room parents are providing water bottles, and we will have students write their names on their bottles before heading outside.

I hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mr. Mac
Fort Washington Elementary School
Principal
