Principal's Message
Dear Cougar Cub Families,

What a wonderful and energetic end to our week! Our Purple House Pep Rally brought out so much school spirit, and it was fantastic seeing everyone come together to celebrate. We also had a blast at our House Color Lunch, and it was especially heartwarming to start welcoming parents back into the cafeteria to enjoy lunch alongside their students. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our lunchtimes extra special!

As we look ahead, please keep these important dates and reminders in mind for the coming week:

  • Tuesday, November 10: PTO Fall Festival — Join us for a fun-filled event with our school community!
  • Wednesday, November 11: School Holiday (Veterans Day) — There will be no school. We extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
     
  • Thursday, November 12: World Kindness Day — We will be celebrating kindness throughout the day and encouraging our students to make a positive impact through simple acts of kindness.

Thank you for your ongoing support, partnership, and enthusiasm. Let’s make it another fantastic week!

Warm regards,
Julissa Fisher
Proud Cougar Cub Principal

Counselor Information
Cougar Cub Families, 
Happy November! Our character trait focus this month is Citizenship and Gratitude.
This month, we are teaching our Cougar Cubs what it means to be active, caring members of our school community and how to reflect on the things we are grateful for. You can help reinforce these traits at home by discussing simple ways to show appreciation and help out in your neighborhood! 
Home SEL Tip: Try starting a daily or weekly "Gratitude Minute" at the dinner table or during drive time, where each family member shares one person, experience, or small moment they felt thankful for that day.

*Parent Optional Form, to NOT have their child participate in the character lesson by the school counselor: https://forms.gle/TRzmVww1zYrz3ukeA

LOST AND FOUND: Please ensure your child’s belongings get home, label all items, jackets, sweaters, water bottle, lunch boxes, etc. with your child’s name and grade level. Lost and Found is located at the FSHES front vestibule-main entrance.
