Felicitaciones a Angel, un estudiante de sexto grado en Fallstaff, por recibir un certificado de reconocimiento por su arduo trabajo en la escuela de parte de la organización Latino Education Advancement Fund (LEAF).

Just before the closing ceremony, my secretary knocked on my door. Our 5th grade valedictorian needed some help with his tie & I was happy to assist, as mom & grandma looked on. It takes a village to raise our children & I’m happy that I get to play a small part! #proudprincipal

Ms. P started with us as a para. When a teacher left unexpectedly, she took over a K class and did such a good job that we helped her became a certified teacher! Today at closing, I surprised her by praising her efforts in front of her families! I am incredibly proud of Ms. P! 💐

Thank you the Mighty Marching Ducks from @wearedouglass for stopping by this afternoon to get our 8th graders pumped up for high school! Special thanks to 9th grade class president and Fallstaff alum, Jordyn, for organizing the visit! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Happy Sunday Fallstaff families! Field Day is this Tuesday and we’re getting ready! Don’t forget to come dressed in your grade level colors! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Ms. Smoot’s 5th grade homeroom class did such a good job preparing for International Night, that they received a donut breakfast treat from the wholeness team! Thank you Ms. Clanton, Ms. Elmore and Ms. Sadie for your thoughtful gift! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Thanks for always supporting us!

Congratulations to 6th grader Angel, who received a certificate of recognition for his hard work in school from the Latino Education Advancement Fund (@LEAFeducacion)! We are proud of you Angel! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Fallstaff hosted its 1st ever International Food & Art night! Community members gathered to celebrate our incredible diversity through traditional dress & food from around the 🌍 ! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed a beautiful evening of fellowship and fun as we close out the year!

The school year may be winding down, but we are still going strong! Today, staff received a popcorn 🍿 treat to welcome them back for the last few weeks of school. Showing up and giving your best to students makes you a “Pop” star ⭐️ in our book! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Work hard! Play hard! Our March and April students of the month, enjoyed a day of fun and food at Dave and Busters last week! There’s one week left in May and we can’t wait to celebrate our last group of students of the month this school year! #falconsflyhigh🦅

School (and lunch) is always better when you can share the day (and a quick game of chess) with a friend! #falconsflyhigh🦅
