The Fiddlers Elementary School’s annual Chinese Night was a huge success. There were Chinese activities for families to come do that included handkerchief tossing, calligraphy, and Chinese lanterns to name a few. Then each grade level performed for parents and friends. The final treat was our Chinese teachers performing a dance accompanied by Ms. Ling Yu and Sophia. Thanks to all who made the night a success!
Remember there is no school Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
Red Ribbon week and Halloween were a success! The kids were creative with their dress up days and the assemblies and activities that were brought in were phenomenal. Thank you to everyone who helped make the week a success.
Do you remember the carefree days when you were a child and were able to ride your bike or walk to school the first time? Our elementary schools are recognizing the national Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day on Oct. 9. This day gives students the opportunity to experience that excitement. The effort also is to raise awareness about active transportation, build healthier habits, promote safety and safe school routes, and strengthen community relations.
We know that many students ride the bus to school. On that morning, bused students at East, Enoch, Fiddlers, Iron Springs, North and South elementary schools, will be given the opportunity to unload the bus at a designated spot and walk a short distance to school. Those who do not want to participate can stay on the bus. Escalante Valley, Parowan and Three Peaks elementary schools will recognize the day in a different manner due to safety concerns.
At each school, law enforcement, PTA volunteers and city leaders will greet the students and offer them a sticker and granola bar. Safety tips will also be displayed. Please speak with your child about safety measures they should use whenever they walk, bike or roll.
Fiddlers Elementary hosts an annual 9/11 memorial each year on the front lawn. Today was a nice ceremony with the CVHS choir singing, the Fiddlers students singing, a flag ceremony, helicopter fly over, moment of silence and ringing of the bell, and guest speaker Zach Tuttle. Thank you to all who participated and helped make this event happen.
Thanks to our PTA for a wonderful "Back to School Bash"!
Fiddler's Elementary had a great first day of school! The teachers and staff all took advantage of the balloon arch and had team photos taken. We were all pleasantly surprised by the SUU T-Birds who lined our walks helping to welcome all of our little mustangs back to school.
Often they are behind the scenes, but we wanted to bring our facility maintenance staff forward to show our appreciation for all they do to make schools run smoothly. Recently, Iron County School District administrators started their day a little early to put together a breakfast for the maintenance and facilities staff, including custodians, ground crews, warehouse and more. The group was recognized as the team of the year for all the work they do.
Just a Reminder - The Utah Food Bank Mobile Pantry will be at Fiddlers Elementary tomorrow, May 14, at 3:30. Your student is invited to take home a bag of groceries after school.
To celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Day, our local McDonald’s owner/operators have approved a fundraiser on Tuesday, May 7 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. where 20% of all digital sales during that period will be tracked and donated to the Iron County School District Foundation. That money is used to support teachers and classrooms with funding that cannot be met through regular budgets.
It is a simple process for you to help:
Download the McDonald’s app and order your meals from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7
The restaurants will track all digital app sales and will donate the percentage to our district.
