🇺🇸❤️ Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day Celebration! ❤️🇺🇸
This week, our Fitzgerald Firebirds came together for our annual Veterans Day program to honor and celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country.
Our talented orchestra, choir, and 2nd grade students shared several beautiful musical performances to express their gratitude and recognize the sacrifices and service of our veterans. Their performances were a wonderful reminder of the importance of honoring those who have given so much to protect our freedoms.
To all of our veterans and their families, thank you for your courage, dedication, and service. We are grateful for you today and every day!
❤️🤍💙 Once a Firebird, Always a Firebird — and forever grateful to our heroes!

Hello Fitzgerald Families,
Preparing for a day with hundreds of special visitors takes teamwork, and we want everyone to have a smooth, enjoyable experience while keeping student safety our top priority. Please read the information below carefully if you plan to attend our Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, November 19.
🦃 Thanksgiving Feast Information & Visitor Expectations 🦃
We are excited to welcome our Fitzgerald families and guests as we celebrate the joy, gratitude, and togetherness of the season! As always, student safety and campus security remain our top priorities, and all regular visitor procedures will remain in place during the event.
✅ All visitors must bring a physical government-issued ID to enter the building. Unfortunately, we cannot accept photos or digital copies of IDs.
✅ Guests not listed on a student's electronic record must be accompanied by an approved contact who is listed on the student's record. Both individuals must have a physical ID available for verification.
Because we expect a large increase in visitors, there will likely be a line for entry. We appreciate your patience as our staff works to welcome everyone while maintaining our security procedures. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time for check-in.
⚡ Fast Pass Option
To help speed up entry, we are offering a Fast Pass for visitors who have already had their ID scanned at Fitzgerald this school year.
To receive a Fast Pass:
• Complete the Fast Pass verification form (link below) if your ID has already been scanned this year.
• If you or your guest have not had your ID scanned this school year, you may visit the front office November 12-18 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to complete the ID scan process.
Fast Pass Link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedEptnNBqxIFGGLJjWhdMhDwvICQP_4Yx363l3vXQ1Spt17Q/viewform?usp=s...
⏰ The Fast Pass request form will close on November 17 at 4:00 p.m. to allow our office staff time to complete all verifications. Please plan ahead.
🍽 Lunch Schedules
Lunch schedules for each grade level are attached. Students will eat lunch at their regularly scheduled lunch time.
Please note:
• We will not be able to pull siblings from class to eat during another grade level's lunch period.
• Families wishing to eat with multiple children should review the lunch schedule and plan accordingly.

📚 Book Fair Open During the Feast! 📚

The Book Fair will be open during lunch hours, giving families an opportunity to shop for great books and support our school library. We encourage you to take a few extra minutes to browse and help foster a love of reading in our Firebirds!
We look forward to opening our doors and celebrating this special tradition with our Firebird families. Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe while creating a memorable Thanksgiving experience for our students.

🎃✨ Our Pre-K 3 students had an exciting day of pumpkin exploration! They used all five senses to investigate the different parts of a pumpkin, making observations about how it looked, felt, smelled, sounded, and even what was inside. From scooping out the pumpkin pulp and seeds to discussing their discoveries with friends, our little learners were fully engaged in hands-on learning.
To top off the fun, each student had the opportunity to decorate their very own pumpkin, showcasing their creativity and unique personalities! Activities like these help build language, science, and fine motor skills while creating joyful learning experiences.
🍂 We are so proud of our curious explorers and creative artists! 🎨🎃

🎃 Little Pumpkins, BIG Discoveries! 🎃
Fall-inspired STEM activities brought science, engineering, math, and literacy to life for our Fitzgerald Elementary Pre-K students!
Our young scientists made predictions, tested hypotheses, explored measurement, and observed whether pumpkins would sink or float. Our budding engineers used critical thinking and teamwork to design and build fences and gates while exploring balance, stability, counting, and spatial reasoning.
Students also connected literacy to real-world learning through a cooking experience inspired by a classroom read-aloud. While making their own no-bake pumpkin pies, they practiced following directions, sequencing steps, and strengthening fine motor skills.
Who knew pumpkins could inspire so much learning? From curious scientists to creative engineers and little chefs, our Pre-K students were busy thinking, exploring, and discovering. What a wonderful way to learn, grow, and make memories together! ...

🎉🐦 Firebirds Are Soaring! 🐦🎉
We are proud to share that during the month of October, Fitzgerald students reduced office-managed behaviors resulting in an office referral by 21%! 👏
This growth reflects our students' commitment to making positive choices, showing respect, and supporting one another. Thank you to our staff and families for partnering with us to create a safe, supportive, and successful learning environment for all Firebirds.
Keep soaring, Firebirds! ❤️💙🔥

At Fitzgerald Elementary, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every Firebird feels valued and respected. ❤️💙
As part of this work, students are learning the difference between being rude, mean, and a bully. While none of these behaviors are acceptable, understanding the differences helps us provide the right support, teach important social skills, and respond appropriately to each situation.
By working together, we can help all Firebirds build empathy, make positive choices, and contribute to a school culture where everyone belongs. 🐦🔥
