FURR Elementary January 19, 2020
Growing Leaders!
Principal's Message!
What an amazing week we had last week, in spite of the weather! Our students continue to challenge themselves and take the necessary risks to make the gains needed in their learning. They continue to amaze me by the amount of books read each week. The one skill that's universal in everything we do, is reading, and our students are taking reading to another level.
Last week, the District Spelling Bee took place and Omkar Ankam represented Furr Elementary proudly. He will move on, representing Furr Elementary and PISD, in the County Spelling Bee.
Our Student Council continues to help fellow students through mentoring and helping others. They also maintain our Lost & Found. Even after advertising our Lost & Found, it still remains to have many unfound items. Please make sure your child has checked this area for any lost items. Thank you for your help!
Our Natatorium is officially open. Our 3rd graders will have the opportunity to participate in our water safety program. 3rd Grade Parents! You will be receiving information concerning our water safety program shortly.
Please don't forget that tomorrow, Jan. 20, 2020 is MLK Day and it is a holiday for our district. All Prosper Schools will be closed for this holiday.
We have an incredibly busy week ahead of us so thank you in advance for your patience and grace! Thank you all for your support and sharing your kids with us! Thank you for entrusting us with your children so that we can make the world a better place. It starts with us...Be Kind!
Respectfully,
Cindy Zukowski
Principal, Furr Elementary
