Our middle school English class had a great courtroom experience this past week. They were able to practice being prosecutors, defendants, and jury members. Their note taking, attention to detail, and speaking/written language was impressive. Many also "dressed the part", which added to the experience. Great job.
What does a typical week look like for a Falcon you ask? Our students are engaged in community activities, experiences inside/outside of the classroom, highly interactive classroom activities, multiple after school programs, and learning that reaches all students. Our teachers go above and beyond to ensure every student is learning every day regardless of age or ability. Thank you to Abbey Resort and ATI Forged Products for donating bikes to our school and partnering with us for the betterment of our community!!
Our 8th grade students had the pleasure of spending an entire class period talking with world renowned artist Tim Jacobus. Mr. Jacobus is best known for being the cover artist of the Goosebumps book series, however, he is incredibly inspirational in so many ways. Tim shared his daily routines that have been a part of his long term success including at least one hour every morning for self-care. Visit his Jacobus Studios website where every purchase will also feed those in need.
Mr. McCanna raffled off one piece of framed art from Mr. Jacobus to seal the amazing experience.

Hello Fontana Families!
We would like to inform you that this year's 4K-8 Winter Concert will be held at the Big Foot High School in their Auditorium!
The Winter Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, December 21st as originally planned. The 4K-3rd grade music program will begin at 6:00pm and end by 6:45pm. A brief intermission will take place to safely clear the students and families who are not staying for the second part of the program. Doors will then reopen shortly after. The 4th-8th band and choir concert will begin at 7:00pm.
The decision to move the concert to the High School was made to ensure better spacing for guests and student performers. Masks are highly encouraged to keep our families safe. We will be following specific arrival and dismissal procedures for audience members. More details will be released as the concert approaches.
Our students are so excited to get the opportunity to perform in the Big Foot High School auditorium. We cannot wait to celebrate the music of the Holiday Season!
