Thank you to our PTSO, Ms. C, and all the support in planning/coordinating kindness week. We had hot fudge sundaes today to cap off the week. Students wrote kind notes, completed kindness BINGO cards, and earned prizes for their hard work. volunteering and kindness. Way to go Falcons!
Congratulations to Mrs. Cathy Long for being nominated as our schools Rotary Service Above Self Award winner. Each year the Rotary recognizes a staff member from each school for their hard work and service above self. Cathy was nominated by her peers for her dedication to the school, students and community and for going above and beyond in all of her work. Way to go.
