Markerspace is OPEN
and GROWING!
We still need the following items:
Makerspace: A place where students can access materials, construct, build, and apply their thinking in a collaborative manner.
The Plan: Glass shelves have been removed and wood shelves in. Tables for working space in the commons, baskets and bins are filled with materials ranging from cotton balls to sticks to glue and tools. Students have open access to these materials during project or collaboration time during their learning day.
Trust: Trust is at the center of Reggio influence where we speak highly of the image of a child. The BSE staff has engaged in great discussion around our image of a child the remainder of the year. Our quest is to shift the child to the center of all that we do where they are trusted and given choice throughout their learning environment.

Friendly competition, office team-building or outdoor recreation during sunny, spring Sundays, Fishers Parks & Recreation’s Spring Softball League returns this April. Not only will this league keep you active at one of our local parks, but it also offers three different competition levels (A – highest, B – moderate, C – lowest) to choose from, ensuring there really is an opportunity for everyone to get involved. Leagues promise seven weeks of play with a two week tournament to follow. Specifically designed for adults 18 and older, games take place Sundays between noon and 6 p.m. at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park. Participation costs teams $448 for those with a captain who resides in Fishers, and $672 for teams whose captain is not a Fishers resident (cost is per team).
Registration is due by March 17 and captains should plan to attend a mandatory meeting on March 30 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park building. Interested in playing as a free agent? Contact our staff and we can help you find the dream team you’ve been searching for.

Fishers Parks & Recreation Releases 2016 Summer Camp Programs
Summer is quickly approaching, which means many Fishers families are exploring options for their children. Fishers Parks & Recreation is excited to announce that the 2016 summer camp brochure is now live. This summer over 30 diverse camps run from the first week in June through the first week in August, meaning your child can enjoy a summer of fun at local parks.
Summer camps offer a well-rounded experience that includes the opportunity to learn new ideas, socialize with new friends and enjoy time outdoors. Each camp is built around a specific theme ensuring your camper is able to explore a topic they’re interested in learning about. Summer camp registration opens on March 1, and families are encouraged to keep a few things in mind leading up to registration:
- For ease when registering at the Fishers Parks & Recreation office (located at 11565 Brooks School Road), please complete your registration form before registration day. As a reminder, t-shirt sizes are listed in youth sizes.
- Discuss your child’s second choice. Summer camps fill quickly, and it’s always helpful to have a back-up camp in mind in case your first choice is already sold out.
- Registration can be completed online, but you’ll need your registration information. If you are having trouble logging into the website, please give our office a call today at (317) 595-3150.
Browse the summer camp brochure and visit our camp page to learn more about our summer camp program. Families are also encouraged to browse our Facebook page for parent testimonies and videos from previous summer camps. We look forward to helping your family get registered, soon!
