✨Weekly Spotlight✨ Our LAST Positive Office Referral post for 2024!!! We have so many kids who are making good choices every single day.

These kiddos earned referrals for being helpful last week. We are so proud of them! Way to go, Falcons! 2024 has been a GREAT year for Positive visits (and pics with Fozzie!). Let's see what we can do in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣!

🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 Fozzie is gearing up for Christmas! Santa's helper teamed up with Fozzie to buy AMAZING Falcons bracelets for every student and staff member at school!

Here are some of our classes showing off their bracelets! Have a great weekend, Falcons!
