Dear Pates and Fort Families,This week we have orange ribbons displayed around campus to
remember Mr. Gladding. He was a GREAT
Pate who had a huge heart for everyone and everything. He loved school and making the world a better
place. He would encourage us to spread
kindness through random acts. He would
make us smile and laugh through the silly outfits he would wear on special
dress-up days. He had incredible energy
in his high-fives and fist pumps. He
would make a point to introduce himself to anyone new. In his memory, we are encouraging our Pates to
do a random act of kindness and to introduce themselves to a new friend at the
Fort.
We are Fort Strong.
Gladding Strong.
Sincerely,
Melanie Hashimoto
Principal
