Falcons Choose Kindness
We are nearing the end of our first grading period! . Our 2nd 9 weeks' Falcon Awards Assemblies will be held during grade level Christmas parties.
Walking the 'Falcon life' is centered around our core values:
- Respect: We will show respect to others and ourselves.
- Advocate for others: We will advocate for the needs of our friends and ourselves.
- Creative Thinker: We will create solutions to problems by thinking creatively and working collaboratively with others.
- Growth: We will set personal goals to improve academically and behaviorally as we monitor our progress.
- Engaged Learner: We will engage in meaningful learning opportunities and encourage our peers to learn with us.
We celebrate our students each week for demonstrating these values. Celebrations take place in the classroom, through Falcon Brag Tags, Student of the Week, and our awards assemblies at the end of each grading period.

Thank you parents and teachers for encouraging your children/students to get out there and get those pledges. Thank you special areas team for being our 'Boosterthon Huddle Team' leaders. Your hard work made this year's fun run engaging for the kids while also keeping them calm enough to re-engage in the learning environment.
Thank you Mary and Andi for fully organizing a positive fun filled Booster experience this year. We look forward to working with our PE coaches, PTA, and Andi to select items for the playground. The kids have given us so many great ideas! We will adapt as many of those as possible per district approval.
