Cardinal Courier: September 17th
Where Learning Takes Flight!
A Note from Mrs. Tallent
We just want to take a minute to Thank all of our Volunteers! Our PTO and volunteers make everything we do here at FCE a success. From Grandparents Day to Book Fair to Bike Rodeo...we are able to offer these experiences to our students because of you! This week we had our Cardinal Dads on campus for the Watch D.O.G. Kickoff. They are excited to serve and make a difference for our students! If you weren't able to make it to the kick off, please see the information below and a link to sign up for a day!
On Friday, we will be kicking off our Foam Fest Fundraiser! Families will be able to donate through the website as well as a text to give option. Info can be shared with family and friends to help us raise money for playground shade structures! Then on Friday, Sept. 29th we invite parents to come join us for our Foam Fest Fun Run (Running through Foam)! We will ask that students bring towels and a change of clothes on this day. We can't wait to have fun in the foam!

GT Referrals- Due by Sept. 29th
Are you interested in referring your child for the gifted and talented program? The window to refer your child for the gifted program is September 1-29. All parent referrals will need to be submitted online using the following link.
Gifted and Talented Parent Referrals
To learn about the referral process and what it means to be gifted, please view the webinar recording of "Should I Refer My Child?" located on the Humble ISD Gifted and Talented referral website. For questions about the program, please contact Christina Taylor at christina.taylor@humbleisd.net.
Cookies with the Instructional Coaches
During this time we will share survey results related to instruction, information about our campus instructional practices (ex. workshop model and small group instruction), the High Quality Instructional Tool, and our Campus Instructional goal. We are happy to answer any questions parents may have regarding instruction and instructional practices on campus!
Fall Creek Foam Fest Fundraiser
With the help of our PTO and Parents over the past couple of years, we have worked to outfit each of our classrooms with interactive smart boards! Now it is time to set a new goal...with these high temperatures we have decided to focus our fundraising efforts towards buying shade structures for each of our playground areas. We will focus on one playground area at a time, but feel confident that with the help and support of our parents we will be able to reach our goal of buying two shade structures to cover both the playground structures at the front of the school (known as the lady bug/train playground) this school year!
We will no longer be using Boosterthon like we have in the past and will fundraise through our Humble ISD Education Foundation this school year so that 100% of all money raised will come directly to FCE! This will also allow us to accept and claim corporate matches! We will be sending out more information as we get closer to our kick off on September 22nd! We will fundraise from Sept. 22nd-Sept. 29th, and will wrap up with our Fall Creek Foam Fest Fun Run on the 29th during each grade levels specials time. We will have foam machines blasting foam as the students run to raise money! We invite parents to join us in the fun and hope you will join in helping us meet our goal!

Safety Drills on Campus
Our students and staff have done an amazing job practicing drills this school year. One of our next drills will be Secure the Perimeter. This drill educates students and staff on the steps that would be taken if there was unwelcomed activity outside or near our campus.
If you have any questions about the drills we conduct, please don't hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Oyeniyi at 281-641-3412 or at tannisha.oyeniyi@humbleisd.net
