The Principal Advisory Council took a trip to the Jostens Renaissance Student Leadership Conference on Thursday! It was an incredible experience with big takeaways!

Fisher High School students had an incredible opportunity to tour the new townhome/apartment complex being built right here in town! A huge thank you to Brett Pierce for taking the time to walk us through the project and share his knowledge, from the planning stages all the way through construction. It was an amazing hands-on learning experience! 🔨🧡🖤 #FisherHighSchool #CommunityConnections

Don't forget about our Prairieland CEO Fall Festival Fundraiser this weekend! The CEO program involves Fisher HS students & focuses on entrepreneurship with hands-on experience running their own businesses. We'd love to see you there!

Third grade had an AMAZING day at Rader Family Farms learning about pumpkins, bees and pollination, petting the cutest animals, naming one of the bunnies at the farm Fisher, and playing hard with friends. It was a chilly morning but the weather turned out to be beautiful and lots of naps were taken on the bus ride home! 🎃🐝🐰🧡

With the temperatures dropping, please be sure to send your kiddos to school with the proper attire for outdoor recess!

FGS is so excited to once again be hosting our Harvest Parade on Friday, Oct 31 in the Circle Drive!
