PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday Fisher Mitchell Families,
November is a time we find different ways to be thankful and have gratitude. For me, I am always thankful for the opportunity to work with your amazing children. It is also a time to think about giving. One way we do this is through our annual canned food drive. This year, we will be collecting canned soup. We are ironing out the details of our collection process, but I thought it was worth sharing in case you want to start storing a couple cans.
As a reminder, next week is a short school week. There is no school next Thursday and Friday. Thursday is a district PD day and Friday is Veterans Day.
Get 4 Free COVID-19 Tests: Every U.S. household can order 4 more free COVID-19 self-tests. Self-tests (also called at-home tests and over-the-counter tests) are one of several tools that protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19. Self-tests can be taken at home or anywhere, are easy to use, and produce rapid results. COVIDTests.gov
