SUCCESS ROOTED IN A COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS

Message from Dr. Yearby
Families, it's about that time! Our Falcon Dash fundraiser is well underway, and we are thrilled to have a goal of $42,000 this year! Our little falcons have amazed me each year and I know this year won't be any different. I'm not sure if they are more excited about raising money for our school or just to see me covered in ice cream once we reach our goal! Either way, it's an exciting time.
The actual Falcon Dash event will take place on Friday, September 30th on our lower field. Each grade level has an assigned time, so be sure to review the schedule so you'll know when your child will be participating. We'd love to see you there as it's always a fun event for our students...and staff! 🙂
Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Mandy Yearby

Who's up for the 50 States Challenge?
We have an opportunity to be entered into a raffle to win $1,000 from Get Movin' (the website that hosts our Falcon Dash donations) if we bring in at least one donation from every state in the USA!
As of 10AM Friday morning, we've had donations from 9 states - Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, and Virginia. If you notice a state missing and you have connections there, reach out and let them know they can be a part of supporting our school. There is no donation too big or small!
Falcon Dash Collection Envelopes
Falcon Dash envelopes were sent home yesterday in the student folders. If you receive cash or check donations, you may send in the envelope back in with your student. The Falcon Dash team will collect the donations and then send back your child's envelope to continue collecting donations!

PBIS at Mulberry
Hi Parents!
Our positive behavior system is off to a great start! Last Friday, students began spending the behavior bucks they have earned by following the expectations each and every day here at school. Be sure to ask your child what they have been doing to earn their bucks!
On September 30th, we will have our first big prize day where students can spend their bucks on items like free ice cream, special pencils, or even the opportunity to be on the morning announcements. We love to celebrate your child's SOARing behavior at Mulberry!
