Extended Recess this Week
Our students will have a Falcon Fun Day on Tuesday, extended recess for grades 6 and 7 on Wednesday, and extended recess for grades 8 on Thursday. It is recommended that students wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, and any other items needed to be outside.
Thank you to our PTSA, parent volunteers and 8th grade team!
We had a wonderful celebration and dance last Friday evening– thank you to the PTSA, families, and the 8th grade team under the leadership of Laura Hulett for making this possible.
Additionally, today our 8th grade students will have their annual picnic, and this could not be possible without all the parent chaperones and PTSA.
We are proud of our 8th grade students, and we are excited to see all the great things they will continue to do in high school and beyond.
