Summer fun with Fontana's 4k/5k daycare class!! They took a walking field trip, and of course, made a pit stop to Coffee Mill!! We LOVE our community #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence

At our award assembly Mrs. Lori Chalchoff, from Dousman Transportation, commended our 5th grade student, Benjamin, for going above and beyond to help during a difficult time on his bus route. He was recognized for being mindful, careful, and respectful to ensure the route went safely. Way to go Ben and we are grateful for our partnership with Dousman Transport to get our students to/from school safely each day. #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence

Our 7th graders have taken on some leadership and mentoring opportunities with our 4k class the last few months. They not only show them what it means to be a Falcon, but also how to make learning fun! Just one of the many benefits of our small school where connections happen throughout the school day. #flyintoexcellence #unitedweSOAR

Hello Falcon Families. We have been monitoring the radar closely and we are aware there is a potential for rain and/or severe weather. Our plan, as of 4:25p, is to move forward with our concert, as scheduled, with arrival beginning at 6pm and our concert starting at 6:30p. We will be providing a live stream on our Youtube channel for anyone who is more comfortable viewing our concert from home. There will be communication regarding any changes in our plans, immediately, should they arise. Thank you and we look forward to a great concert tonight! :)

Congratulations to our Falcon Alumni honorees. On May 8th the Geneva Lake West Rotary hosted their annual Diploma Endorsement program, which recognizes graduating seniors who excelled in academics while demonstrating a strong work ethic overall.
