6th grade was fortunate to learn with the American Players Theatre in Spring Green, WI today. A matinee viewing of "Our Town" kept each student engaged and interested. What a beautiful facility on a wonderful day to watch outdoor theatre. Thank you to our generous PTSO for helping to fund, chaperone, and setup this event. #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence
Hello Falcon Parents!
This year we are competing as a joint team with our Big Foot feeder schools. By competing together with Reek, Sharon, and Walworth it opens up so many more opportunities and let's us compete as a team and give some competition back on the course.
This past Tuesday we traveled to Clinton High School for our first invite as a full team. The Big Foot Area Middle School team really represented, especially our Fontana runners. The boys had 8 of the top 10 spots, high lighting Alex Reckamp placing 5th with a 11:59 finish in his 3k. The girls had 2 place in the top 10 both being Fontana runners. Cassidy Vilona placing 4th with a 12:31 and Alyvia Hanna in 5th with a 12:32 in their 3k finish.
Thursday the team traveled to Edgerton to race in the Silverwood Invite. They experienced a real trail run and really enjoyed running through the woods. We had 4 big foot Middle school boys place in the top 10, one being Alex Reckamp in 9th place with a 11:24 3k finish. Our girls had a Sharon runner in the top 10 taking 3rd. New goals were set for all.
We look forward to our 2 meets next week. Monday 9/18 at Duck Pond, boys race 4pm and girls race 430pm. Then Thursday 9/21 at Duck Pond as well, boys racing 330pm and girls at 4pm. We encourage our community to come cheer on all our runners both days.
Learning took to our beautifully updated Roeker Arboretum this week. Inside and outside the classroom students were engaged and learning about the Falcon Way. The Falcon Way is our commitment to Excellence to Self, Others, and our Community every day!! Happy Thursday Falcons!
