News and Tidbits
Dear Falcon Ridge Families,
It's hard to believe we've reached the last day of school! It has been an amazing year, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your overwhelming support and encouragement. Working with such positive and engaged families has truly been a blessing.
As we transition into the summer break, we encourage our students to take time to rest and recharge. We also hope they find joy in playing outside, reading, running, interacting in person with friends, and continuing their acts of service within the community. These activities not only provide fun and relaxation but also contribute to their overall intellectual growth and well-being.
Thank you once again for a wonderful year. Have a safe and enjoyable summer, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the fall!
Sincerely,
Dr. Jorgensen
