![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Message from Mrs. Keppler Dear Fireside Families,
We’re beginning to breathe a bit easier as the majority of staff have received their first vaccine dose and some even their second. Our partnership with Boulder Community Health, as well as other private and public facilities, have supported these efforts.
You can expect kinder and PK report cards to be sent home today in Friday folders and in grades 1-5, families will be able to view all report cards in Infinite Campus on Thursday, February 25th by accessing the link HERE.
Next week I’ll be hosting a virtual Principal Coffee for parents of students in grades PK-2. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, support one another with raising our children and ask any questions. https://meet.google.com/ymp-xmgh-wic
As we celebrated Random Acts of Kindness week, I must say I’m continuously amazed by our respectful, caring students and the number of complements and kind words and deeds that transpired throughout the week. Thanks, Falcons, for your kindness, heart and for spreading the love. ![]()

Literacy Week: March 1-5, 2021 Each year, Fireside Elementary spends one week focusing on and celebrating our love of reading and writing. We choose a theme and build activities and events around the theme. The theme of this year's Literacy Week is: "If I cannot do great things, I can do small in a great way."~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We're excited to have Sarah Lynne Reul, author of The Breaking News, as our virtual visiting author. She'll be discussing her writing and illustration process at our virtual kickoff assembly from 9:10-9:40am on Friday, February 26. This coincides with our optional Fancy Dress Spirit Day. Students can make bow ties, tiaras, etc. from construction paper if they don't have dressy clothing. We are going to WOW our visitor! On March 2nd and 4th, Ms. Reul will be virtually visiting grade levels to present writing workshops.
Throughout the week, students will have opportunities to do small things in a great way. We hope they'll continue to do so well beyond Literacy Week.
