This is a quick reminder that tomorrow, Thursday 10/6, is School Pictures Day at FKS for all students grades PreK-5!


For National Custodian Day we thank our FKS Custodial Team for all they do for our students, staff, and school to keep our grounds and facilities clean, safe, and healthy. We are grateful for their hard work and dedication our school.


This week Kids for Peace again recognized FKS as a Kindness Certified School for our efforts to nurture a culture of kindness, connection, and belonging on our campus. We are proud of this recognition and the best efforts of our students and staff everyday to be kind and inclusive.


This week grades 3-5 students welcomed Tim Rohrer, a young adult with autism. Tim is an author, speaker, self-advocate, and educator of disability inclusion. Tim shared with students a message of choosing kindness, acceptance, and including those with disabilities.
Tim also spent time with our FKS faculty that afternoon sharing his experiences as a student with disabilities.
Many thanks to our PTA for bringing Tim and his message to our school.




Autumn recess is a time of joy with friendships and good weather.


At Flocktown only on Tuesday, 9/26, waffles will be substituted for french toast.

To end a very busy week, we want to share with you our Flocktown grades 3-5 artists' 'drip art'. It's beautiful!





Many thanks to our faculty and staff for two successful Back to School Nights. We are grateful to our FKS families for the support you demonstrated with your attendance.
Enjoy the long weekend and to our faculty, staff, and families who celebrate, we wish you Shana Tovah and Chag Sameach!




Just a few of the ways we said "Hello!" this week.





On Thursday, students thanked a trusted adult and our trusted adults spread the Start With Hello Spirit!
Today, our Wolves took the Promise Pledge to keep the Start With Hello spirit going throughout the year!



On Wednesday we wore green to show our support of reducing isolation as part of the Start with Hello Week.
That's Mr. Churchill in the background! 😄


First Spirit Day of the year tomorrow! Wear your favorite sports team shirt!


Tomorrow is Wear Green Wednesday as part of Start with Hello Week! Green Out FKS by wearing green tomorrow, 9/21, as a symbol of unity and solidarity to include everyone.


As we continue with Start with Hello Week, today was Upstander Tuesday. We encouraged students to show appreciation to the Upstanders in our school community by noticing and recognizing someone who reaches out and helps others.

This morning our PTA provided us with one of the best assemblies we've ever hosted at FKS - artist Patrick Dunning's Signature Project. The engaging multi-media program shared with students some stories of the millions of people from around world, includinging our new staff, who contributed their signature to this amazing work of art, 25 years in the making, celebrating the journey of life - its beauty and fragility.

Many thanks to Patrick Dunning and our PTA for bringing us this thought provoking and inspirational program. One third grade student shared, "I was mesmerized and my brain hurts!"
