The Fruit Scoop!

I hope all families enjoyed the February Vacation Week! It was great to see all the smiling faces back at the Fruit Street School. The winter season is still here, so please make sure to dress your child appropriately for outdoor recess. The students love being outside before school and at lunch recess.

For the safety of the students and families at dismissal only park in the staff parking lot if there is a spot. Do not create a line because this causes a safety risk to our students and families. If anyone has a question please reach out to me at school. Student safety is a top priority.

The students at the Fruit Street School enjoy being outside in the winter playing with their friends in the snow and making memories. The school will use this temperature as a guide as whether it may be too cold for outside recess.

A huge thank you to the PTO for supporting the Mr. Drew and Animals, Too! assembly. The students were able to learn about snakes, turtles, cockroaches, and tortoise just to name a few. The students were also taught how they can help with the environment. The students even were able to touch some of the animals.

The students celebrated the 100th Day of School with many creative activities within the classrooms.
