Where has November gone? In just 5 short weeks, it will be time for our Winter Break! The last two weeks have been very busy here at Fisher. Last Tuesday, we had Mix It Up Day at lunch where students had the opportunity to sit with different students during their lunch times. Students were able to interact with old and new friends, while also learning lessons about diversity and friendship.

On Friday, we had a great Veteran's Day assembly where we honored many of our Fisher Family veterans. Just seeing the veterans brought tears to my eyes as I thought about all they have done for our wonderful country! It was truly a great morning!

Monday and Tuesday, I made a road trip to Austin to accept Fisher's three-peat award for the TBEC Honor Roll. Fisher is included among the top 4% of Texas schools to receive this prestigious award, and even fewer who have received it three years in a row!

Tuesday, the Fisher PTA brought the Science of Spin Yo-Yo program to our students during their CAMP time, and let me just say, "Boy, was this program a hit!!" For the last two afternoons, the yo-yo table at dismissal has been very busy! It is fun to see students practicing the skills they learned.

Our shoe drive ends this Friday, November 19, so be sure to send in those gently used shoes. No flip flops or open toed shoes please.

Fisher is also participating in the "It’s a Small World" Angel Program. Each classroom will have one Angel to which they will donate new items to ensure a happy holiday for our local children. You should have received information about this program in your child's folder. Gifts are due Monday, November 29.

Remember, next week, November 22-26, is our Thanksgiving Break. We hope you all have a safe and happy break. We'll see you back at Fisher on Monday, November 29. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!
