Our 3rd and 5th graders attended the Pow Wow at the beautiful Wiimaajiikwad School. They were introduced to several types of dancing, invited to join in the round dance and try frybread. We are so proud of our very own Fancher Falcons who danced and shared their cultural traditions with us. We are thankful for the opportunity to participate. Miigwech!
Fancher Families,
Next week is Staff Appreciation Week, and we are so excited to celebrate the amazing teachers and staff who pour their hearts into our children every day. 🎉
To make this week extra special, we’re putting together daily surprises, treats, and gift cards for EVERY staff member — but we can't do it without your support! Please consider supporting this initiative by dropping off a giftcard, providing a venmo donation, or signing up to donate an item.
Here’s how you can help:
Donate a small item (snacks, drinks, goodies, etc.) to be included in our appreciation events using THIS link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F48ABA62CA0FAC16-55167543-fancher#/
Make a financial contribution via Venmo – even $5 makes a big difference! Every dollar goes toward gift cards and making sure ALL staff feel seen and appreciated. 📲 Venmo: @Allison Arnekrans (please write “TAW 2025” in the notes!)
Drop off a physical giftcard to the front office on or before Monday May 5!
We’re aiming to have everything collected by TOMORROW Friday May 2, 2025 so we can get organized and make this week unforgettable.
Let’s come together to show our incredible staff how much we value them! 💐💌
Thank you for supporting the heart of our school! ❤️✏️📚

Good morning Fancher families,
Here is a look at this week's Fancher Flyer 4.21.25 https://secure.smore.com/n/pyf8e. Our CKH Leadworthy Character Trait is Perseverance and we are focused on Finishing Strong. Launching you with - "When you think you can't go any further, look back at how far you've come. Then, look ahead and do it again." -Anonymous
Fancher families -
We hope you are enjoying this weekend. As a reminder Fancher students begin state testing this week, attached you will find the schedule along with testing reminders. A good night sleep, eating a healthy breakfast at home or school, arriving to school on time, and trying their best are all good reminders for your student. Thanks for partnering with us. This month's CKH theme of FINISH STRONG : Perseverance is fitting for this testing time. "It always seems impossible until it is done." -Nelson Mandela
We had a great night learning more about our students' cultures and families. Fancher Falcons thank you for presenting and attending.
We hope to see Fancher families Thursday 6pm for our Cultural Night. Come and learn more about the cultures of our school community. Enter in the side door of the cafeteria.
Happy National School Librarian Day, Ms. Green!
Happy National Paraprofessional Day!

We had a great time this morning having magician Cameron Zvara back from BrainBreakAcademy! He helped us focus, feel inspired, relax, and energized us!
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
