Lord, I pray for courage and prudence as I go through life seeking to live and to proclaim all that You speak. May I never give into fear or cowardice when opposed or challenged. Instead, give me a peaceful resolve to be a great witness to You in all things.

Here are the Homecoming dress up days for Spirit Week (October 1 – October 5):
Fowler Volleyball Dig Pink T-shirt Sale: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Buy a t-shirt for $12 and wear it October 17th at the Fowler vs. Fulton VB match. Orders are due by October 1st. All proceeds donated to The Side-Out Foundation.
Halloween, All Saints Day & Las Posadas: As some of you already know from previous years, we don’t celebrate Halloween but instead we have celebrated All Saints’ Day by having a party and letting the students dress up as saints and other Biblical figures. We have also celebrated Las Posadas in December where students can dress up and do a parade behind Joseph and Mary looking for a place for her to give birth to the baby Jesus. We alternate Las Posadas and All Saints’ Day and do only one each year. This year we will only be doing Las Posadas (December 21) as an all-school dress up celebration. For All Saints’ Day the teachers may do parties or celebrations in their classrooms but will not be dressing up like saints, etc. More information about this will be coming in the announcements or from individual teachers. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
7th/8th Grade Boys Basketball: Sign up is now available in the Waldron office.
Tech Trio Tickets: Tickets (sold & unsold) & money need to be returned by October 24th. If you are finished selling tickets already you can return the tickets/money to the school office. Thanks!
Protecting God’s Children: Mrs. Hufnagel will be offering the Protecting God's Children session on Thursday, September 27, at 6:30 p.m. in the computer lab. In order to work with students, do recess duty, or chaperone class trips (including the 8th grade trip), parents are required by the Diocese to attend a Protecting God’s Children workshop. You may also attend a workshop offered at another school in the Diocese if it better fits your schedule. You can go to the Virtus website: https://www.virtusonline.org to see when other schools are offering the workshop. NOTE: A copy of your certificate is required for our files if you attend a workshop at another location.
School Closing REMIND System: we will once again be using the REMIND system to send out text messages concerning days off school, late starts, or early dismissals due to inclement weather. If you were a member of the group last year and want to remain a member, you do not need to do anything. If you were not a member last year and want to get the text message alerts please follow the directions below (*Note: if you are already a member of the Fowler Public School REMIND group you will get a second text from me). I would not expect to have emergency alerts outside of those from Fowler Public Schools but I can't guarantee that might not happen.
