A Note from the Principal
Thank you so much for your support of our campus fundraiser with Step it Up Kids. We are almost to $4,000 to put towards our campus projects (primary playground equipment and motivational items for student learning). Our Falcon Families are the absolute BEST at supporting our campus goals! In addition to our fundraiser launch, here are some other notable events that have taken place on our campus:
- We have opened our SOAR Store, where our Falcons can cash in their SOAR bucks for prizes on Fridays. We even have MVPs (Mom Volunteer Program members) who are running the store for us! If you'd like to sign up to run the store one week, we would love to have you (and your kiddos love seeing you there!). Click here to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050B4EA4A62DA64-soar
- Our Dads of Great Students Program (Watch D.O.G.S) is up and running. We have had a dad volunteer to support teaching and learning in the classroom each day since we launched on Monday. Take a look at our first Watch D.O.G.S. of the year below! If you'd like to sign up to be a Watch D.O.G. in the coming days, we still have slots available. You can sign up by going to this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040f49aba82ea3fb6-watch. As always, thanks, Dads, for your support!
- Our 4th and 5th grade Falcons had a virtual author visit from Celesta Rimington. In the coming weeks, we will be giving away 30 copies of her book "The Elephant's Girl" to students who completed a follow up activity.
- Our Popsicles on the Playground night was a TON of fun! We hope your student enjoyed the event and that you were able to gain critical information on how to best help your student.
We look forward to a great October!
