We've had a wonderful start to the week with so many Mystery Guest Readers. Thank you to parents and community members for taking time to read to our students for reading month! Each classroom has extended the invite to families and community members to sign up to be a Mystery Reader. There is still time to come and be a reader at Fancher, even if you need to join virtually we can make it work. Reach out to your student's teacher if you are interested! #EmpowerExcellence
Thanks to a grant from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe we had the honor of having Native American author Jessie Rencountre visit yesterday and share her book Thunder's Hair. She shared a wonderful message about being a "helper" to those around and being proud of our differences. One of the quotes from her book was, "We become the lesser version of ourselves when we solve our problems with our fists." Jessie shared how impressed she was with our Fancher students attentiveness and engagement during the assemblies. Each classroom now has a copy of the book. #FalconProud #MarchisReadingMonth
We had a great turn out at last week's Cookies & Coding night. Thanks for joining us!
March is Reading Month - Book Madness
This month students will be listening to different staff members read a book and voting for their favorite books in our book tournament. We also have a Reading Month Calendar with different activities and spirit days each day. Teachers are also hoping for Guest Mystery Readers this month to come and share a book with their class - please reach out to your child teachers if you are interested in coming in.

We launch into a new CKH theme for March. We are focused on helping students understand that courage is not a magical remedy for fear. Instead, courage is a choice to push through fear, self-doubt, and anxiety to do things that feel hard or frightening.

100 days of learning, growing, and having fun together. To celebrate the 100th day of school today, students were on the hunt to find 100 hidden pictures of Mrs. Shiner & Mrs. Rinke. As they looked around the building they noticed several "new" students. Oh wait, those were just staff members "dressed like students" today for another underground spirit day. What a fun day in our school community. 🫶🏻💙❤️ #CKH #100thdayofschool #EmpowerExcellence
