This is Principal Fatout with a weekly principal's message. I hope this message finds you and yours well. Happy Thanksgiving!!

As we enjoy our break I want to share a few things I am grateful for.

I am extremely grateful for our hard-working staff and students. Our staff exemplifies our mission of providing a quality education experience while creating lifelong learners and productive citizens.

Our students also exemplify our motto of "Falcon Pride, Falcon Nation, One Flanagan Family"! I am honored and privileged to witness the amazing academic and extracurricular accomplishments from all our Falcons.

I am also thankful for our Flanagan parents. Our staff have some of the most supportive parents in Broward County and the State of Florida. The endless support inside the classroom and the endless hours helping athletics and extracurricular activities thrive at the highest level is valued and honored. I am so impressed each time I witness parents assisting during pregame events, fundraisers, local, State, and National competitions, and during meet and greet events. Our Falcon culture shines each and every day. A HUGE thank you to our community.
