Falcons were fantastic to watch at the Raleigh County Cheer Competition! You represented our school well!
Six classrooms were awarded Golden Awards for the first month of school! The Golden Spoon is given to the homerooms with the best cleanliness and behavior in the cafeteria. The Golden Shoes go to the classes who show the best hallway expectations. The Golden Dustpans go to the homerooms who are the tidiest at the end of the school day! These awards are displayed as the class' bragging rights for the entire month! Who will win next month? Thank you to our Falcon staff and students for taking such pride in your school, as well as showing self-control and respect!
It was so wonderful to see our families show up for Parent Days this week. 97 family members signed in and spent time with their Falcons learning about iReady score interpretation and fun ways to practice mathematics with their students. We thank Mrs. Chesley for all she did to make this happen. We thank our Falcon family members for making your students know how much you support their education!
A reminder of our parent activities for today and tomorrow! We look forward to seeing you!
Wishing our Falcon cheerleaders the best of luck at competition!
Thank you for supporting our Falcons with the recent fundraiser! Our students enjoyed the mega party today!
