Today, our students enjoyed a wonderful presentation from Dialed Action Sports BMX stunt bike riders! They learned important safety lessons about wearing protective gear like bike helmets and the three R's of anti-bullying: Recognize, React, and Refuse.
The students enjoyed the stunts and watching their teachers be brave participants while the expert riders performed tricks over the top of them. Thank you to Ms. Wagner, Ms. O'Dell, Mr. Patel, Ms. Quinn, and Ms. Mead for your brave participation!

Big Readers, Little Listeners!
Today our preschoolers had a special treat — storytime with our fantastic first graders! It was heartwarming to see our older students take the lead, reading stories with patience, expression, and so much love. Our little learners soaked up every word.
We enjoyed a wonderful BBQ with our primary level (prek - grade 1 ) families today. The students were so proud to have their family join them in school!!

Mrs. McCrea’s first graders had a magical time reading When a Dragon Moves In by Jodi Moore!
Throughout the story, students hunted for 3D shapes hidden in the book’s sandcastles and practiced identifying each one by name. Inspired by what they found, they then put their creativity to work by building their own sandcastles using the 3D shapes they had made. It was a fun and hands-on way to bring math and storytelling together!

SOAR all the way into summer FHGS Falcons!
What would the end of the month be without a FALCON Gathering? We held the last Falcon Gathering for the 2024-2025 school year today to celebrate our students for showing our SOAR values. Congratulations to all the winners this month!
First-grade students received a special reward for meeting their growth goals and/or grade-level standards on the STAR 360 assessment! Mr. Danyow’s class earned the chance to pie him in the face, while Mrs. McCrea’s class celebrated by covering her in silly string. The students had an absolute blast—it was a fun and memorable way to celebrate their hard work and achievement!
Over the past few weeks, third-grade students at FHGS have been working on biography research papers. Each student selected a notable historical figure to study. They conducted research from books and credible websites to write a paper. The project culminated with an interactive wax museum event. Students transformed into their person. During the event, other classes and teachers walked through the museum pressing imaginary buttons to bring each wax figure to life. Students read a script sharing key details about the historical person they were dressed as. It was a great learning experience that brought learning to life! To see a video of each presenter, go to: https://youtu.be/Ycc4pjuAXEA?si=VETJj8vHPaxf9cWv
FHGS held our Celebration of Learning tonight. As always, it is so much fun to see the students explaining to their parents the learning they have been doing throughout the school year. SOAR Falcons SOAR!
