💙💛 THANKFUL THURSDAY: $10,791.95 RAISED! 💛💙
This Thankful Thursday, we have 10,791.95 reasons to be thankful! ⛳
Our 2nd Annual Kelso C-7 Golf Tournament was an incredible success, raising $10,791.95! This year, our goal was to raise funds to help purchase new athletic uniforms for our Falcons, and our community certainly showed up to support our student-athletes!
⛳ Our players — thank you for spending the day with us, enjoying a little friendly competition, and supporting our students.
💙 Our sponsors and donors — your generosity and continued support of our school mean more than we can say.
🙌 Our volunteers — thank you for giving your time, energy, and helping hands to make the day run so smoothly.
💛 Our chairpersons and organizers — thank you for the countless hours spent planning, coordinating, organizing, and taking care of all the details behind the scenes.
Whether you sponsored, donated, played, volunteered, organized, or simply helped spread the word, you were a part of making this day a success.
Today, we are especially thankful for a community that continues to show up, give back, and support our kids. $10,791.95 raised is something worth celebrating—but the people behind that number are what make us most grateful. 💙💛
We can't wait to see our Falcons take the court and field in their new uniforms and know that our community helped make it happen!
Happy Thankful Thursday, Falcon Family! 🦅⛳

💙💛 Thankful Thursday! 💛💙
Today, we are thankful for Cara Dirnberger and the incredible eight years she dedicated to the Kelso C-7 PTO!
Cara began her PTO journey as Treasurer and then served as Co-President for the following seven years. Throughout those eight years, she gave countless hours, shared her talents, and poured her heart into making Kelso C-7 an even better place for our students and staff.
When asked why she volunteered, Cara shared that she wanted to give back to the teachers and school district that had done so much for her two girls. With a special place in her heart for education, she found it incredibly rewarding to watch the progress made for both teachers and students over the years.
One of her favorite projects was the PTO Dinner Auction, where each year’s success helped fund bigger projects for our school. Through the generosity of our Kelso C-7 community, our PTO was able to help purchase a playground, create an outdoor classroom, and establish the Funding Falcons grant program.
Cara, we are so grateful for everything you helped with during your years with PTO. Thank you for volunteering your time and we will miss your service.

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾
Fozzie and Mrs Lands visited every classroom this week, and boy, did he have a "paw"-some time!
Each classroom got a sweet little visit, where the students had the opportunity to pet Fozzie, learn about his summer adventures including chasing locusts and cicadas, and were also reminded about how to act around Fozzie.
We were able to get pictures with a few classes, but today the spotlight is on our "paw"-sitively amazing 8th graders. We missed one Falcon for our first visit, but we will update at another time when we have the whole 8th grade class present.
Have a great LONG weekend, Falcons, and we will see you again on Tuesday!🐾
