This Thanksgiving, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your partnership, support, and commitment to our school community make a meaningful difference every day. Together, we create a warm and inspiring environment where our students can grow, learn, and thrive.

May your holiday be filled with joy, and time spent with those who matter most.

Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations to our Students of the Month, recognized for their outstanding qualities!

For the month of October, we proudly honored Avery Dowty (whom we caught up with because we didn't get her photo last month! )

For November, we’re celebrating Charlotte Burmeister and Grae Shikowsky (pictured), along with Linnea Yount and Claire Zika, who were unable to join us for a photo this time—but we’ll catch up with them next week!

We are so proud of each of you for embodying respect, kindness, and a welcoming spirit. Keep shining!

Mrs. Line's class worked all week on making pies for the Community Thanksgiving Celebration. We are grateful to those who worked so hard to ensure everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Asher and Adrian passed their 3/8” plate flat bend tests this week in Welding 1 class. This was their first attempt at this test. Niklas Anderson and Braydon Loney also passed both of their bend tests on the first try. Congratulations guys!

Mrs. Hamers' 6th grade writing students had so much fun with the seniors when they got together to write Halloween poems, that they invited them to hang out again for a pizza party and games! The 6th graders were excellent at the games and the seniors were fabulous mentors and leaders.

Falls High School played Turkey Bingo before leaving for Thanksgiving Break. Classes competed for prizes such as cookies, ice cream and donuts. Competition was fierce and fun was had by all!

Please talk to a trusted adult if you or a friend are struggling with conflict, bullying. We have attached some resources below as a guide. When we bring a community together, conflicts inevitably arise. If the conflict persists into bullying or harassment it is imperative that students and adults work together to make it stop. At FHS we take this seriously and will thoughtfully and carefully investigate each incidence, help resolve conflict, and address bullying. Everyone deserves to feel safe at school!

Conflict and bullying are issues that need adult intervention and support. Please see the following resources!

Hello! My name is Heidi Thompson, and this is my 17th year of teaching Special Education and my 13th year at FHS. I received my Special Education Teaching Degree from Bemidji State University and Moorhead State University.

I love being able to help others live a more independent and fulfilling life. Working with students with all abilities helps me to become a more patient, compassionate and understanding person. I have built close relationships with my students and their families. I love to see how far they have come and what they can do.

My husband Scott and I have been married for 16 years. We have three children: Kane 17, Tenley 14, and Asher 11. We enjoy all things outdoors and, in the summer, we love spending time at our cabin on the lake. We enjoy being with our families and watching our children’s sports events. When I am not at school, you can usually find me at the rink, football field or softball field.

Please watch for more LINKS to be added in the future!
