Falcon Weekly Bulletin

Dear Falcon Families,

We are just one week away from two of our most exciting events of the year—Homecoming and Halloween! We are thrilled to invite our students, families, and community members to join us in celebrating these milestones with spirit and fun.

Falcon Olympics Excitement
We have Falcon Olympics Trivia happening this week—encouraging friendly competition and school spirit as students put their knowledge to the test.

Community Trick-or-Treating
We’re also hosting a Community Trick-or-Treating Event on Saturday, October 26th, from 12 PM to 2 PM. It’s a great opportunity for the entire family to join in on the fun. There will be trick-or-treating, a Spooky Haunted House, a Halloween Door Decorating Contest, games, treats for sale, and more! Don’t miss out on this chance to experience Halloween fun with the community.

Wrapping Up Quarter 2
As we prepare for these exciting events, students are also working hard to finish Quarter 2 strong. Encourage your students to stay focused and take advantage of office hours this week for additional support. We’re here to help them succeed as they wrap up assignments and projects.

IB Theater Show
Lastly, don’t forget about our IB Theater Show this week! Our talented students have been working diligently to put on an amazing production. It’s a perfect chance to support our students and experience the arts.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and working together to make this a memorable week for everyone!

Best regards,
Miss Hoang
