💙⛳ What a Day for the Falcons! 💛 A huge thank you to everyone who made the first-ever Kelso C-7 PTO/Booster Golf Tournament a hole-in-one success! From our amazing organizers to every volunteer, sponsor, and team who joined in — your support made this event unforgettable. Together, we raised $8,205, with all proceeds going directly back to our school through Falcon Foundation Grants that benefit our students and classrooms. We are so grateful for this incredible community that always shows up for our kids. 💙💛 #FalconPride #CommunityStrong #KelsoC7 #FalconFoundation #ThankYou

🎵 What’s Happening Wednesday 🎵

Our brand-new Falcons Choir is off to a fantastic start! We’re now 7 weeks in with 9 talented members, and they’re already hard at work learning music theory, preparing for our Veterans Day Assembly performance, and even exploring songs in foreign languages for the upcoming Christmas Concert.

The choir is also in the middle of a Butter Braid and Cookie Dough Fundraiser — perfect for your holiday plans! 🍪🥐 Orders are due by October 21, and products will be ready for pickup during Parent-Teacher Conferences. See Mr. Jenkins or a choir member to place your order today!

A huge shoutout to Mr. Jenkins and our choir members for bringing so much heart, harmony, and excitement to Kelso C-7! 💙💛🎶

📣Positive Office Referrals📣 Part 2! For the month of October, Mrs. Lands challenged our students to consistently follow their teachers’ directions—and they rose to the occasion! These Falcons earned Positive Office Referrals for showing respect, responsibility, and great classroom leadership. Students can earn this special recognition each Friday during the month of October, and we can’t wait to see even more smiling faces next week as we celebrate their success! Way to go, Kelso C-7!
