This week, our honor band traveled to Myrtle Beach to perform at the 2019 Pre-Collegiate Fall Renewal Conference. They did an excellent job performing and were also able to take in some attractions around Myrtle Beach. We are very grateful for our great band director Lee Scott for always pushing our band to the next level and creating unique experiences for them.

Our Falcon cheer squad kicked off Friday Circle for us this morning. They did an awesome job!

Third-grade hosted a writing celebration today to culminate all of their hard work on writing a Pourquoi Tale (a narrative that explains the question of "Why?"). Parents enjoyed coffee and pastries while reading students writing and asking them questions about the process. Students were excited to show off their finished products, which explained why polliwogs wiggle and discuss their learning behind these unique stories.



Let's get excited about the Book Fair!

4th and 5th grade band is hard at work this morning preparing for their Winter Concert.

Sixth graders did an excellent job presenting their work around natural disaster preparedness at their Celebration of Learning last night. Shoutout to students and teachers for their hard work and preparation. We learned a lot about what goes into preparing to be safe during unpredictable disasters.


Our 7th graders were rained out earlier in the year from attempting the Alpine Tower at the Middle School Retreat. Yesterday, they had the chance to make up for that. Students showed curiosity and bravery to conquer fears. Many of them are making "overcoming" part of their expedition work on their own identities. Great Job!

Elective and support crew always show out for Halloween.

We had a staff pumpkin decorating contest this week. There were some very creative entries.



First grade students kicked off their expedition by spending the morning at Camp Falcon! Students participated in campfire stories and skits, bedtime stories and movies, camp songs, dance parties, and even enjoyed some snacks. At the end, they were able to piece everything together and figure out that they will be learning about why stories were created and what a story can be!
