Hey there Fishweir Families!
We are excited to invite you to join us in celebrating Principal Appreciation Week as we honor and celebrate our incredible principal, Mrs. Dennis, all week long!
Every day, Mrs. Dennis leads our school with heart, dedication, and an unwavering belief in our students. She works tirelessly behind the scenes and front and center—greeting students with a smile, supporting teachers and staff, partnering with families, and creating a school environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.
During this special week, we want to pause and intentionally recognize the impact Mrs. Dennis has on our school community. Her leadership, kindness, and commitment make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and families.
We invite families to help us show Mrs. Dennis just how much she is appreciated by:
Sending a thank-you note, card, or email
Encouraging your child to share a kind message, drawing, or memory
Offering words of gratitude when you see her on campus
Participating in daily appreciation activities shared by the school
No gesture is too small—your kind words mean the world and help make this week truly special.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating our principal who leads with compassion, models excellence, and makes our school a place where students thrive. We are so grateful for Mrs. Dennis and all that she does for our school family.
