Here's the week ahead for our Falcons:

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 What a fun week this has been for our four legged buddy! Fozzie got to go to his very first pep rally at school! He had such a great time!📣📣 Next he celebrated Veteran's Day by wearing red, white, and blue! We are so thankful for our veterans!🇺🇸 This week he began going with Mrs Creech for her whole class counseling class. Each of the students got to pet Fozzie before Mrs Creech began her lesson! Finally, Fozzie helped one of our students celebrate her birthday this week! Fozzie says this week was PAW-some!🐾

🎉✨ We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Michaella Gantz has won the Missouri State Teachers Association (MSTA) Unsung Hero Award! 🎉✨ Mrs. Gantz stands out as an exceptional teacher, known for her strengths in building meaningful relationships with both students and colleagues, creating engaging and inspiring lessons, and showing incredible leadership in our school community. Her dedication to her students and her passion for teaching make her truly deserving of this honor. 🌟 Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Gantz for her amazing accomplishments and this well-earned recognition! 👏👏 #UnsungHero #FalconStrong

📣What's Happening Wednesday📣 WOW! It's been an eventful week! Our first Pep Rally of the year was a HUGE HIT! We played a VERY competitive game of musical chairs (with Mr Jenkins as our DJ), introduced our basketball teams, cheer squads, and Malcolm the Falcon, led the students in some fun cheers, and played a competitive pom pom shooting contest amongst some of our teachers! 👏🏻Mrs Schubert won, by the way👏🏻 Additionally, our school currently has a lot of visual representations of student work and it is a great sight to see. Our classes have been working hard and we love showing off their work. Happy Wednesday, Falcons!

👏🏻Weekly Spotlight - Part 2👏🏻 We have one more BIG spotlight for the week, and that is recognizing two of our young men for their recent awards! At a recent sports banquet at Kelly, Keagan was recognized as Defensive Player of the Year and Leeland was recognized as Newcomer of the Year!🏈. We are so proud of them! Congratulations!!

✨Weekly Spotlight✨ These two Falcons received Positive Office Referrals for their acts of kindness. We are SO proud of them! Keep up the great work, Falcons!

🇺🇸 2024 Veteran's Day Program🇺🇸 I will try to upload more pics and add videos (if possible) to the comments. This was the BEST Veterans Day celebration we have had at Kelso C-7. Thank you to our veterans who attended today, and more importantly, for your service to our country.

Here's the week ahead for our Falcons: Special Notes: Tomorrow is Veterans Day - please have students wear their patriotic colors. Friday - Gift Card orders are due.

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 I forgot to share Fozzie's Halloween costume last week! The Jennings Family brought Fozzie the cutest costume last week, and he wore it around school and during dismissal! They also brought him two more fantastic bandanas! Fozzie wore one of them this week! Also pictured is Fozzie sitting in Dr Burger's office! As you can see, he makes himself right at home, in the chairs, just like all the humans do! We hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!💙🐾

✨ Thankful Thursday shoutout! We have a couple this week... 🏀We're beyond grateful to everyone who came out to support our basketball scrimmage and helped us raise $444! Every dollar goes towards Jesus in Disguise Food Pantry and we couldn’t do it without the energy and love from this incredible community. 💙 Thank you for showing up, cheering loud, and making a difference together. Here's to more wins, on and off the court! 💖 A huge thank you to St. Francis Hospital for bringing their mobile wellness bus to our community! We are so grateful for the opportunity they provided to make mammograms accessible and convenient for so many. Early detection is key, and thanks to their incredible team, we’re one step closer to healthier lives for all. 🩷 Thank you, St. Francis, for your dedication and care! 🎄💫 Heartwarming news! So many generous people have already signed up for Angel Tree to bring joy to families in need this Christmas! But there’s still time to make a difference! If you haven’t yet, stop by and grab an angel – let’s make the season magical for every child.🌟 🙌 #ThankfulThursday #FalconStrong

🇺🇸Veteran's Day Memo🇺🇸 Thank you to all of our Veterans.

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 Fozzie's first school pic! Cheekwood outdid themselves by including him in the "Staff I.D. Badge". It's pretty darn precious. Here is your notification that school pictures were delivered to school on Wednesday morning. Some teachers were able to pass them out during conferences. The rest will be sent home with students on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend, Kelso C-7 family! 🐾💙
