Mrs. Fidler was one of my favorite teachers. I still recall some of the lessons she taught my class-academic lessons, but also lessons about life. She was so upbeat and always welcomed us with a smile. Getting to know you, Shannon, I've seen so many wonderful qualities that remind me of her. You honor her daily with your kind heart, warmth and smiling face. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

When you see the sun peek through a rainy day, that too will be her saying, I bring you a rainbow.God bless you all during this time. Pamela Partridge

I will never forget Mrs. Fidler. We moved here from Colorado with a scared little boy to a new town and a new school. We came in early the first morning to meet her. She picked up on my son's fear right away and made him feel welcome by giving him a hug and reassuring him that everything would be alright. She had the patience of a saint.She always had a smile on her face to greet the students in the morning.What a truly sweet lady.
