One state test down and two more to go! Thank you to Deborah Fleming and PTA for treating our testing teachers to a delicious soup lunch and snacks!
We are starting our final six week period of the year! It is flying by!!
Monday is a holiday for students! Enjoy the three day weekend!
Please join us tomorrow at the Keller High School football field for the first annual Letterland Day from 10:00 - 1:00. Letterland is a child-friendly phonics program that is utilized throughout Keller ISD to teach reading, writing, and spelling to students in Pre-Kindergarten through second grade. Come meet FES Staff, all the Letterlanders in person, plus enjoy a bounce house, games, and performances from Casa Manana. Admission is free and food will also be available for purchase at the family-friendly price of $1 per item, thanks to concessions provider Sodexo.
McDonald's Night was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our Co-Curr team! It is always wonderful for us to visit with out families outside of school!
Hugs!
