Dear Farnham Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed a nice break from the routine last week during our February Break. Whether your family traveled, spent time together locally, or simply enjoyed a slower pace, I hope it provided an opportunity to rest and reset. We were excited to welcome our Falcons back and begin the next stretch of learning together.

This Thursday at 5:30 p.m., there will be a Special Board Meeting where the Board of Trustees will hear the recommendations from the School Consolidation Advisory Committee. We know this process carries a range of emotions for many in our community. I encourage families who would like to stay informed to attend the meeting or follow along through the district’s communication channels.

Additionally, please join me on Friday morning after Morning Assembly for coffee and doughnuts. I will share school updates and provide time to connect and ask questions. I always appreciate the opportunity to gather together and keep our communication open and strong.

We will also be hosting a Garden Clean-Up Day this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. If you are available, we would love your help in refreshing and caring for our beautiful garden spaces. Please enter through the back gates when you arrive. Many hands make light work, and it’s always a special time to come together as a community to support our campus.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are grateful for our Farnham community and all that you do to make our school such a special place for our Falcons.

Be well,

Amy O'Hehir

Farnham Principal
