Dear Fireside Families,
It's been a spirited week at Fireside! Thanks to our Student Council for selecting a different theme each day for spirit week as we celebrated each student's individuality. Other news...Ms. Fitzgerald hosted the annual Spelling Bee. I applaud all of our risk-takers who participated in the event and congratulations to Trey Chance as he was this year's finalist and will represent Fireside at the regional competition.
We hosted our C.A.P. staff and parent workshops this week in preparation for the student workshops which will begin next week. The motto for C.A.P. is keeping kids safe, strong and free, which aligns well with our school motto- safe communities = safe schools. I continue to value everyone's part in supporting the safety of our school and students.
