Good Afternoon

Although we still have a short week next week, it will undoubtedly be a very busy one, so I wanted to take this moment to thank our families for a wonderful 2025–2026 school year.

We experienced highs, lows, and everything in between. From our Veterans Day ceremonies, PTO events, caregiver nights, Cultural Night, concerts, plays, and so much more, every time our community gathered, the strength of who Fowler is truly shined through. We are fortunate to be part of a school community where differences come together, are valued, and are celebrated.

As we prepare to part ways for the summer, I especially want to recognize our graduating Grade 8 class. As I complete my third year as Principal of Fowler, this graduating class represents the first group of students I have been able to watch grow throughout their entire middle school journey. If you are a caregiver of a child this age, I celebrate with you the reality that these often turbulent years of growth can be both exciting and challenging for students and families alike.

School is a place where mistakes are made, lessons are learned, friendships are built, and young people discover more about who they are becoming. I feel fortunate to have been part of this journey with your family, and I cannot wait to see what high school brings for this wonderful group of students.

To our students in Grades 4–7, our journey together continues, and I look forward to experiencing these same proud moments with each of you in the years to come.

Thank you again for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the school year. On behalf of the entire Fowler staff, I wish all of our families a happy, safe, and relaxing summer.

Best

Keith

A BIG SHOUT OUT to the Fowler PTO for hosting an absolutely incredible ice cream social and auction last night!

We had a fantastic turnout, and it was wonderful to see so many Fowler families coming together to celebrate our amazing school community. Events like these are such an important reminder of what makes Fowler so special — the connections, support, and pride that our families bring each and every day.

Thank you to the PTO for the countless hours of planning, organizing, decorating, coordinating, and making the evening such a success. Your dedication and commitment to our students, staff, and school community never go unnoticed. And, thank you to our families for your continued support of Fowler School. We are truly grateful for all that you do to help make Fowler such a positive and welcoming place for our students.
