Fishers Youth Assistance Program is pleased to offer Snack Attack again this school year and continue to support students in HSE Schools. For those unfamiliar, Snack Attack is a simple program designed to help students needing a little extra nourishment to get them through the weekend until they can receive a hot meal at school on Monday. There is no cost to the family or to the school, families just need to opt into the service. All students in need are welcome to participate.

Snack Attack bags are unmarked brown bags filled with ten snacks for junior high students that are picked up in the Guidance Office each Friday. Snacks are individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, pop tarts, or peanut butter/crackers, Goldfish crackers, etc. The type of snacks will vary each week. If a child has a peanut allergy, he/she will receive a special white bag of peanut-free snacks.

If you would like to opt into this program, please email Mrs. Broughton (kbroughton@hse.k12.in.us) with your student(s) name and grade. Please also include if there is a peanut allergy.

If you would like to donate to the Fishers Youth Assistance Snack Attack program, donations may be dropped off at the front office or by sending in with your student. Monetary donations to Fishers Youth Assistance may be made by clicking on the link below:

Student Spirit

We are still looking for parents/guardians to head up the Student Spirit committee. Meantime, we’ve scheduled an after school UPaint Pottery event. Save-the-date for Thursday, November 4! UPaint Pottery will be bringing their mobile studio to the FJH cafeteria. There will be a number of items for students to choose from, along with the paint. UPaint Pottery staff will be on hand to assist, and then they will take the items back to the studio, fire the items, and deliver the items back to school for distribution back to the students. Registration details are coming soon.
