Hello Falcons!!

We have had finished five weeks of school already! Our fifth week was filled with homecoming fun and it was great to see so many students dressed up and taking part in our spirit week! Here are FIVE things to know this week:

  1. As a follow up to our parent email earlier this week, our student support systems also include Ms. C, our school social worker. We are fortunate to have a full-time social worker to provide social/emotional learning, wellness initiatives, and so many connections to our community. Attached HERE is a LINK for our Wellness Wednesday topics/dates. All are welcome.

  2. Looking for something fun and exciting to do on Sunday? Come to the 

    Grapevine Theater located inside The Bottle Shop complex located at 617 W. Main Street Lake Geneva, WI 53147

    . At 2pm, 

    Fontana Film Club's 

    Klay Kong

     will be featured in the Monster Kids portion of the American Horrors Film Festival. Afterward, they will be part of a Q & A panel being shot for a TV Special!! Come cheer on our filmmaking falcons and purchase a ticket to this one of a kind experience!  https://americanhorrors.net/product/monster-kids-screening-ticket/

     Please note: Other events and screenings in the American Horror Film Festival are not for young audiences.

  3. Thank you to our PTSO for sponsoring and setting up a great golf outing last weekend. It was so much fun and a beautiful day to golf! This fundraiser helps support our school programming and all funds go directly back to student programs.

  4. Our flag football team finished their season this past week and had a successful year. It was great to have so many students participate and they all worked hard together. Additionally, our volleyball team already hosted two games and have improved already in just one week. Be on the look out for three more games this coming week!

  5. Great job Ms. Jacoby in preparing our Falcon band to march and perform in the Big Foot homecoming parade. The students sounded great and represented our school wonderfully!
