This morning, we celebrated our 5th graders as they prepare to begin their next chapter as 6th graders. This afternoon, we watched them walk out our doors for the very last time as Fowler Elementary students. It was one of those bittersweet moments, sad to see them leave, yet exciting to think about all that lies ahead for them. We have watched them learn, grow, lead, and make memories that will last a lifetime. As they turn the page from elementary school to middle school, we couldn’t be prouder of the young people they have become. Goodbye, elementary school. Hello, middle school! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish. 🐾♥️

How lucky were we that the rain went away before Field Day began! Here are just a few pictures of the fun that was had by all. Thank you to our volunteers, parents, staff, and most importantly our coaches who made this day possible. 🐾♥️

Reminder that tomorrow will be the Award Ceremonies for 1st-4th grades. Please note the times for each grade level and the sign-in times. These award ceremonies are invitation only. The invitations were sent out Thursday & Friday. Please check your child's backpack! Lastly, so that everything runs smoothly, please make sure to read each reminder. We can't wait to celebrate our Bulldogs!🐾❤️

Today we celebrated a very special milestone for the Kindergarten Class of 2038! This year has been filled with learning, laughter, new friendships, and unforgettable memories. Our young Bulldogs have grown in so many ways as they learned to read, write, count, create, and believe in themselves. As they take this exciting step forward, we are so proud of all they have accomplished. The future is bright, and we cannot wait to see all the amazing things they will achieve. Congratulations! 🎉🐾♥️

We want to wish Dr. Benitez and Mrs. Davis best wishes on their next chapter…retirement! Thank you for 25 years of service to public education with many of those being in KISD. You will be greatly missed by us all. Once A Bulldog Always A Bulldog! 🐾♥️

Congratulations to our 2026 National Elementary Honor Society inductees who were officially welcomed into NEHS this evening! 💙 Tonight also marked a special moment as we said goodbye to our inaugural NEHS Class of 2025 as they officially passed the torch to our newest leaders. We know they will continue to do amazing things. A special thank you to our outgoing NEHS President, Rayu Hernandez, for the outstanding leadership and dedication shown throughout this year. Your impact on this organization has been truly appreciated. We would also like to thank our NEHS sponsor, Mrs. Sticca, for the countless hours, energy, and heart you pour into this special organization. Your commitment to our students does not go unnoticed. ♥️ Lastly, thank you to our selection committee for the time and care taken to thoughtfully review applications and select this year’s members. 🐾

To continue the celebration of the Senior Class of 2026, today we cheered on our friends from Early College High School. Yes, some of our former Fowler Bulldogs were present! Congratulations and best wishes to this group of seniors! 🐾♥️
