Our fundraiser, “Havin’ SUM Fun for Fisher’s Future,” a Mathletics competition among the students, is well underway!  Please support this fundraiser by returning the sponsorship forms that were sent home with your child.  We appreciate and are very much in need of everyone’s support with this fundraising event.

This past week, the green group celebrated mass in the classroom.  It proved to be a wonderful experience; one that the students will always remember!  The purple group will be preparing for their mass in the classroom this Thursday.  They will be acting out the readings, making up intercessions, and choosing songs to accompany their liturgy.  The other two groups will continue covering material in our Morality book.
