Last day of school, Wednesday! Yearbook signing and goodbyes. Have a great summer, Falcons!
Our last day of school was filled with celebration, reflection and gratitude. Students gathered for a special prayer service and awards ceremony to honor their accomplishments throughout the year.
We also said heartfelt goodbyes to three wonderful teachers who will not be returning next year-Ms. Gockowski, Ms. Alberts and Ms. Rose. Thank you for the love, dedication and impact you’ve had on our Fatima community. You will be greatly missed!
Before school let out, pre-k had a retreat. The 2 classes came together to reflect on their favorite parts of pre-k and to celebrate that they are each unique! Stronger together! They’re ready for kindergarten!
Second to last day of school means popsicles from our PTC!
After an unforgettable trimester reading and discussing “The Outsiders,” our 7th grade girls surprised middle school ELA teacher Ms. Chamberlain with a special Outsiders flag!
A rainy field day but tons of fun! Thank you to our parent volunteers, returning 8th graders and high school volunteers. And a big thank you to Fatima parent, Nicole Hamlin, for taking the lead again!
Our Falcon field day teams enjoyed a hot dog lunch provided by our wonderful PTC before they started their games! Thank you to our PTC and parent volunteers for helping out!
While the big kids had their field day, preschool and pre-k had their own version of field day!
Last week, 7th graders presented the apps they designed based on the book, “The Outsiders.” They pitched their apps to “investors” and tried to convince them to “invest” in their project.
Sunday, May 31 marked the 5th Annual Fatima Golf Tournament at Interbay Golf Center! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and to our amazing hosts, the Carrolls, de Turennes and Bakke’s. From exciting competition to unlimited mulligans, the community spirit was strong. Thank you to all of our sponsors and our drink cart ladies for keeping everyone hydrated. Congrats to all the prize winners! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
