FROM THE HSC President
Dear Fisher Families,
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Fisher Middle School! Fisher Home and School Club (HSC) is a dedicated group of parents and educators working together to enhance the education of every child at our school. With the help of volunteers, we organize fun and engaging fundraisers, such as our upcoming Halloween/Day of the Dead Party on October 26, 2024, Dodge Ball in spring 2025, and Fun Run on April 3, 2025. These events promise to be enjoyable for all.
Through our partnership with One Community Los Gatos (OCLG), we strive to provide vital financial support for our school’s curriculum, music teachers, art docents, STEAM-ToSAS, guidance counselors, dance instructors, and technology. Your involvement is crucial. We encourage you to participate in our fundraisers and volunteer your time to make a difference. Your active engagement not only benefits our school but also provides an opportunity to connect with other parents, educators, and the wider Fisher Middle School community.
This year is full of promise, and we can't wait to see you at our upcoming events, contributing to the success of our school.
Warm regards,
Nitze Dormady
President, Fisher HSC

DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know how many opportunities your child has at Fisher Middle School? One Community LG focuses on providing students with many options so that students can make their own choices concerning their education. One Community LG funds many of these electives thanks to contributions from parents like you.
Students can choose elective classes such as dance, STEAM, band, choir, or orchestra. During lunch, students can choose to participate in intramural sports, organized by our Noon Sports Coordinator, or relax in the Wellness Center with our many counselors. Student clubs at Fisher are also funded through One Community LG, as well as many after school community building activities, such as the recent Camp Trojan.
All 6th grade students participate in OCLG funded electives since they are either in the Music Program or the Wheel, which includes dance and STEAM. Many 7th grade students continue with the Wheel, which includes STEAM, or are in the Music Program, and some 8th grade students participate in both Spanish and music as their electives. Regardless of which elective your student participates in, it is important that all students be given the opportunity to make a choice at any point in their Fisher career.
Ask your child to tell you what they did in their elective or at lunch this week. To find out more about what your contributions to One Community LG will fund, please visit www.onecommunitylg.org.
