FURR Elementary January 12, 2020
Happy New Year!
Principal's Message!
It was GREAT to see all of our students again! Their smiles, their laughter, their thoughts, their voices, ...their presence!! Our building is complete when all of our staff , students and parents return to our building, safely. I hope our students enjoyed their time away but now it's time to look forward, a time to make plans for this year, a time to get back into the swing of ...school. This part of the school year is when students make the largest growth in their learning. It's an exciting time and the most challenging time in the school year, for our students!!
This past week, we changed our dismissal procedures in the front car line. We moved from a single car line to a double car line. I wanted to thank you for your patience as we continue to work through this process.
Thank you Mrs. Ashby and students for putting on a successful TALENT SHOW. Friday, our students, performed in front of the whole school, showing off their talents! Our students did an AMAZING job !!!!
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.
This week brings more learning opportunities and competitions for our students. If you get the chance, please come out and support Omkar Ankam. He will be representing Furr Elementary in our District Spelling Bee! WE WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK, OMKAR!!! The District Spelling Bee will be held at Folsom Elementary, at 5PM.

LOST & FOUND:
Our Lost & Found has grown immensely. 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!
LABELING ALL ITEMS:
Parents, please label all items that are sent to school with your child's last name on it. I would rather return an item, back to our students, than for any item never to be reclaimed again. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
___________________________________________________________________________________________
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
Cultural Fair is COMING to Furr Elementary!
This year Furr is hosting a cultural fair. To make this an amazing event, we need volunteers. We would love for many of our families to share their cultures. Please take a look at the Cultural Fair Survey and see if there is anything you could do to help support our cultural fair. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Ramos at jrramos@prosper-isd.net.
