FIS Footloose Fundraiser Event
Our first FIS Footloose event is a huge success! Our current total money raised is $29,582. We are taking donations until Friday, April 9th! (Please see the attached documents below.) The money will be utilized to help us purchase playground equipment.
It was fun to see the variety of themes and dance moves throughout our building - western, glow in the dark, 80's, sports, etc.
The following students earned the opportunity to show their dance moves during the event:
Avery Carpenter - 3rd grade/Westerhold
Piper Bowsher-Eddy - 3rd grade/Cowart
Nolan Rickerson - 4th grade/Peterson
Savannah Croley - 5th grade/Eddins
The following classes have earned their PIZZA PICNIC (along with popsicles/extra recess): Cowart, Duby, Westerhold, Gallaher, Peterson, Tharp, Hix. Other classes are still earning rewards through Friday.
We will continue to keep you updated with the final results in next week's "Admiral's Log".
Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate our PTA, FIS families and community!

LET THE LEARNING CONTINUE THROUGH KCS SUMMER LEARNING CAMP
Knox County Schools will be offering a 6-week Elementary Summer Learning Camp for eligible students beginning on June 1. This free program was made possible by the Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act, which was approved by the General Assembly in January, and was designed to support students whose learning was interrupted by COVID-19.
Eligible families should have received an enrollment email on March 22, and the enrollment deadline is April 20. An FAQ and more information are available at knoxschools.org/summerlearning.
