Hello Falcons! March seems to be heading in with spring like weather. Our 26th week of school brought about the best weather in the last month. Be sure to keep your Falcon dressed for layers and our unpredictable Wisconsin weather. Here are FIVE things to know this week. 1. Our library turtles, Felix and Fiona, are looking for a forever home. This will include the tank, food, and supplies. Due to our current school situation, our students and staff are unable to enjoy them as much as we would like. They are free to right home. Please contact Susan Ziganto in our office or email sziganto@fontana.k12.wi.us 2. Our virtual science fair was a great success. Thank you to the Falcon staff and families for making this happen despite our COVID restrictions. We also had our first all school "outdoor" assembly to recognize the great projects and hand out awards. Great job Falcons! 3. By this weekend, our Falcon staff will have all had the opportunity to get COVID vaccines. Thank you to our school community for working together to allow for our inservice day today. 4. March 2nd was National Reading Day. Our staff celebrated a day of reading and continue to encourage a love of reading. At home, reading to your Falcon, no matter their age, is a great way to support reading alongside our staff! 5. Congratulations to all of the Falcon Honor Roll students at Big Foot. We always review and evaluate our transition to high school. Our class of 2024 had 10 student listed on the Big Foot honor roll, with 7 of those 10 on the high honor roll (GPA 3.7-4.5). Way to go and keep up the great work! The snow is melting and the air is getting warmer! We look forward to our spring semester and all the great activities that allows for our students. Stay well, be safe, and have a great weekend. Your Partners in Education
