What an amazing weekend for our Falcons! 🏀💙💛
A **BIG, BIG THANK YOU** to Brett and Rachel Harper for their incredible efforts in planning the **1st Annual Alumni Basketball Tournament**—your dedication made this special event a reality! We are so grateful for your planning, hard work, and Falcon spirit.
A heartfelt shoutout to Evan Reischman, whose vision and passion for this tournament have been years in the making.
To all the players who laced up their sneakers and took the court—thank you for bringing the energy, excitement, and good-spirited competition that made this tournament so memorable. Watching everyone come together, reconnect, and share in the joy of the game was a powerful reminder of the pride we all have in our school and community.
This event was more than just basketball; it was a celebration of our Falcon family. Here’s to many more years of memories and connection!
Until next year, Falcon fans… Thanks for a great weekend! 💙💛💙
📢 A Huge Thank You to State Representative Dolan & State Senator Burger! 🎉
We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of State Representative Dolan and State Senator Burger for our public schools! 🙌
On Monday, March 3, both leaders took time out of their busy schedules at the Capitol to meet with Dr. Burger and discuss the needs of our students and educators.
✅ HB 711 passed the House yesterday and will now head to the Senate for a vote. Rep. Dolan stood strong for our schools by voting against open enrollment, ensuring our district remains strong and supported.
✅ Sen. Burger continues to make a difference in Jefferson City through his efforts for SEMO. He is also directly supporting Kelso C-7 by sponsoring a meal for our hardworking teachers on Monday, March 17, and, along with Rep. Dolan, sponsoring a special meal and day for our 8th graders on April 1.
Thank you both for your dedication to education and for championing our students, teachers, and schools! 🏫🍎 #ThankYou #PublicSchoolProud #EducationMatters
