A Message from the Principal
Please mark your calendars for Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Our fall Parent Teacher Conferences will take place Thursday, October 13, from 4:00-7:00 PM. We will again plan on conferences that are scheduled digitally via Google Meet. More information will be shared the week prior to and week of conferences.
Our conferences are meant to offer time for brief conversations regarding your student's progress. If you require a more lengthy discussion regarding your student or are unable to meet within the time and space available, please email or call the teacher and arrange a mutual time to meet.
The success of our students depends on a strong partnership between our school, families, and community. Every day is an opportunity to connect. Never hesitate to reach out.
With Saber Pride,
Mr. Vuolo

Forte Theatre Presents: The Sound of Music
The hills are alive with the sound of music! Join Forte Theatre Company for their mainstage debut at the Saber Center - and one of the most beloved musicals of all time. In Austria, 1938, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. With music and lyrics by Rodgers & Hammerstein, a cast of some of Milwaukee's top professional talent and FPS students playing some of the VonTrapp children, this is a theatrical experience not to be missed!
October 7th - 16th / Fri & Sat @ 7 pm, Sun @ 2 pm
