Falcon Flyer

Dear Falcon Families,

It’s hard to believe we are entering our final week of the school year! This has been such a special year—one filled with learning, growth, creativity, and unforgettable moments. As we wrap things up, we want to take a moment to thank you for being such an important part of our school community. Your support, encouragement, and involvement have helped make this year a success for every student.

To help us celebrate the end of the year in style, we are having a Spirit Week! Each day will have a festive theme that gives our students and staff a chance to show their school pride and have some fun together. You’ll find the full list of Spirit Day themes below.

On Monday, we’ll be holding our Year Signing Party at Peter Piper Pizza, a fun tradition and a meaningful way for students to share memories, sign yearbooks, and celebrate the friendships and milestones of the year. We always look forward to this event, and we know your children do too!

Thank you for a wonderful school year. We are so proud of our students and can’t wait to end the year with celebration, laughter, and lots of smiles.

With appreciation,

Tracy Smith
Principal
