About elenoa.fisher

I was born and raised in the beautiful Islands of Tonga in the South Pacific. I come from a Tongan mother and a German father. I graduated with honors from Saineha High School on the island of Vava’u, and received a four-year student-work program scholarship to attend Brigham Young University in Hawaii. While earning my degree, I worked at the Polynesian Cultural Center as an instructor and a model. There, I met my prince charming, David Fisher, and we were married in the Portland Oregon Temple in July of 2000. David is an attorney here in Utah. We’ve been married for 11 years and have two wonderful children, Ailine who is 10 years old, and Kawika who is 8 years old. We also have 2 little poodles, Rusty and Missy.
I began teaching first grade at Quest Academy Charter Elementary School in 2008. I am very excited about the wonderful year ahead of me, and the great opportunity to teach third grade!

Hello Fabulous Parents!
I just want to remind you all that we are doing HOMEWORK THIS WEEK. Since Friday is a NO School day, you are welcome to turn in your child’s homework Tuesday the following week. Thank you all for your help and support.

Friday, January 9th

I am happy to announce that Tomorrow is our MOVIE and PAJAMAS DAY! My students have been so good adjusting to school after a long Christmas break and they deserve a little treat.So we are planning on watching the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which ties in with our daily read-aloud of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that we have been doing in class. Please send me a text or an email if you DO NOT want your child to watch this movie. Also, feel free to send your child with a small blanket and a pillow for the movie time. Thank you all for your support and help.
FYI- There will be NO Food or Treats served during the movie.
