Our Penny Wars resulted in $800 raised for the Fontana Community Food Pantry. Our National Junior Honor Society middle schoolers took the 3rd graders to Daniel's Food in Walworth to buy the needed supplies for the local food pantry. Thank you to DNR Warden Wilson for coordinating our schools in this "Hunt out Hunger" drive. #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence #Fontanacares Thank you Fontana!!
Falcon Reminder!! We are collecting non-perishable food items to support our local food banks during the holiday season. We have two large bins in the main entrance. Please consider donating as all food collected will go directly to our local community! #unitedweSOAR
Four and half years ago our team and school board had an idea.... "Let's use some of the available space in our school to open a daycare". What was once an idea is now an integral part of our community. At any given time you may find one of our daycare hall monitors patrolling the school!! We are grateful to our community and amazing staff for providing a wonderful place for growing families! #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence
Hello Fontana!
Starting next Wednesday, December 11th, we will be starting a monthly "Let's Talk" with district administrator Steve Torrez at Coffee Mill at 8:30am. Bring your questions, wonderings, and feedback on December 11th while enjoying a warm cup of joe!
This open format is meant to provide our community the opportunity to find out what's going on at Fontana, learn more about our school, and ask questions you may have about Fontana Elementary. We will also bring topics to discuss and this month we will be reviewing the new school report cards and what is going on at Fontana. See you there!!
What does it take to be a leader? What are the responsibilities and attributes of a leader? We had some middle school students learn about that and more at the Leadership Conference at UW-Whitewater this past Monday. Thank you to Dr. Ted Neitzke and Southern Lake Anthology for hosting a great event.
Our students were able to interact with many different middle schools, learn about being a Buffalo Leader, how to step out of their comfort zone, and step into uncomfortable situations for success! What a great learning experience! #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence

Principal Maple was an amazing addition to our administrative team this past Thursday. She surprised the staff with donuts, observed her sisters to be sure they were behaving, attended a Rotary Meeting, supervised recess and ensured learning across the building. Most importantly, she declared an extra recess for all of third grade!! Maple won Principal for the Day at our PTSO Golf Outing this fall. #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence #youarehired

Our 4th and 5th graders had a great time at the Chicago Wolves hockey game yesterday. We were able to attend the "Get Schooled by Skates" field trip for an educational experience along with some great hockey! All students got an interactive workbook to learn about how hockey related to everyday classroom subjects such as math, science, language arts, reading and social studies! Bringing learning to life is always fun! #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence
