Principal's Message
Dear Fammatre Families,
There has been a lot to celebrate around Fammatre this week! Mrs. Erich, first grade teacher, and her husband welcomed their beautiful son into the world on Friday, March 26th. On that same day, we announced Mrs. Parker is Fammatre’s Teacher of the Year and Mr. Bruno Fleming is our Classified Employee of the Year. Congratulations to Mrs. Erich, Mrs. Parker, and Mr. Fleming. We are so grateful for all that you do and the dedication, talent, and joy that you bring to our Fammatre Family.
Cambrian's Governing Board voted to approve the proposed 2021-22 school year calendar at last night's Board Meeting. To view the 2021-22 school year calendar, please click here.
I hope everyone has a wonderful spring break with plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy this beautiful spring weather. We look forward to seeing Cohort A students back on campus on Monday, April 12th and Cohort B students on Thursday, April 15th.
Warmly,
Jackie Smith
Principal

REASONS WHY FAMILIES SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR COMPLIMENTARY SCHOOL MEALS
1. It extends families grocery budget
2. It saves time planning and preparing meals
3. It is comforting and familiar for kids to have school meals
4. Every meal served is reimbursed by the USDA and funds go toward Child Nutrition staff wages – it helps keep our team employed!
5. They are not taking food away from someone who needs it more – we have plenty to go around!
The Cambrian School District Child Nutrition Department thanks you for your support and participation.
