CTE Month
The month of February is the month of Career Technical Education (CTE). Our students at Falcon Academy are so lucky because we provide ongoing CTE access through the various STEAM activities that take place on our very own campus!
Be Ms. Gina for the day!
Austin, an amazing Falcon 1st grader, was Ms. Gina for the day last Friday!
Austin had an important seat in the health office!
He even had lollipops ready for his patients! If your kiddos want to be Ms. Gina for the day, they can save up 35 SOAR cards and earn this big ticket item!
Do you want your temperature checked?
Well then, Mr. Austin is at your service! Austin was our very first student to be Ms. Gina this school year!
Dr. Kim needed to check her temperature with the rainy day and all!
Mr. Austin checked Dr. Kim's temperature, and even gave her a lollipop for being such a calm and friendly patient!
3rd Grade's Innovation Museum
Friday's innovation museum was a HIT!
Catnator 3000
Do you need to travel for an extended period of time? Do you have a cat sitter? If you don't, you need the Catnator 3000! It funnels food and water to your cat and even has a function to play with your cat when you are away!
Innovation Museum
Our Falcons are ready to take over the world with their inventions!
Lizardbot, anyone?
If you want to see what's happening out in the wilderness, you need the Lizardbot! It helps you see what other lizards are doing through this bot in disguise! If a predator comes too close, it has a spray that will keep it safe!
