Dear Future Fleming Students and Families,
Spring is officially here and that means it is time to start thinking about the school transition for our incoming 4th grade students and families. We are excited to meet all of out future Falcons and their families at our transition kick off open house on Tuesday April 16 from 5:00 - 6:00 PM at Thomas Fleming School.
The evening will begin with a presentation about our school and the transition / placement process. Afterwards, students and caregivers will have an opportunity to move around the building and see all of our awesome spaces and meet our incredible faculty and staff. We are so excited to meet you!
Hope to see you all on the 16th!

Message from Mr. B in Gym
Students have been getting their heart rates up with games that focus on catching, underhand passing, and cooperation. You can ask your kids about games like Catch 3, Hot Potato Tag, Do You Want to Build a Snowman, Bump, Blind Builders, and Light Fight.
In health class, students are learning about how to take care of their hearts, blood vessels and lungs. Artery Avengers is a fun activity we play to help kids understand the importance of exercise and eating healthful foods. Second and third graders get to learn about the parts of the heart and how blood moves through its the chambers.
Mr. B.
