Dear Farnham Families,
We have some exciting updates to share!
Our Falcons are still holding strong in first place for the Read-a-thon! 📚 With one more day to log reading minutes, let’s finish strong—keep reading, Falcons!
Next week, we look forward to seeing our talented student actors take the stage in Alice in Wonderland on Thursday and Friday. It’s sure to be a fantastic performance, and we can’t wait to cheer them on!
Also, I invite you to join me at our upcoming Home and School Club meeting on Tuesday, March 4th, at 6:00 PM in Room 7. Your involvement makes a difference, and we’d love to see you there.
Thank you for your continued support!
Go Falcons!
Be well,
Amy O'Hehir
Farnham Principal
