Dear Farnham Families,
It’s hard to believe we’ve arrived at this point in the school year! As we reflect on all that has been accomplished, I continue to feel immense gratitude and pride for our incredible community. Farnham is a special place because of the people in it—those who care deeply, collaborate with heart, and consistently go above and beyond for our Falcons.
🌟 Open House Tonight – Celebrate the Magic!
I am so excited to welcome you to Farnham this evening from 6:00–7:00 PM for our Open House! Come celebrate the creativity, growth, and hard work filling our classrooms this year. Don’t forget to visit the Farnham Art Show in the Cafeteria, stop by the BOGO Book Fair in the Library and view all the amazing Multicultural Fair posters hung up around campus — you won’t want to miss these special showcases!
📚 Home & School Club – Final Meeting of the Year
Please join us in the Library next Tuesday, May 27th, at 6pm, for our final Home and School Club Meeting of the year. Your voice, ideas, and involvement make a big difference, and we’d love to see you there as we wrap up and look ahead.
☕ Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast
To all our amazing Farnham Volunteers, thank you. We invite you to a special Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on Friday, May 30th, at 7:30 AM in your honor. After breakfast, stick around for the joy and excitement of Olympic Day, a beloved Farnham tradition filled with fun and community spirit.
Thank you for all you do to make Farnham such a thriving, joyful place to learn and grow. I’m honored to be part of this school community and so proud of all we’ve accomplished together.
Be well,
Amy O'Hehir
Farnham Principal

We are excited to showcase our students’ creativity at this year’s Art Show, which will take place on May 22 during Open House in the cafeteria. This special event will feature a collection of student artwork, celebrating their artistic growth and expression.
To make this event a success, we need parent volunteers to help set up the exhibit in the days before the show and break it down afterward. If you are interested in lending a hand, please fill out the Google form. More details are to come!
A NOTE FROM YOUR HSC BOARD:
Hello Fabulous Farnham Families!
As we head into the end of the school year, we want to take a moment and thank all of the hard working volunteers who have helped make all of our events possible! Take a look at the few events we still have coming up:
- May 27 at 6pm in the library: Final HSC meeting of the year. We will be transitioning to next year’s board and look to begin planning for next year.
- May 28 at 7:55am at Houge Park: meet us for the last Walk To School Day and celebrate safe routes to school.
- May 30: Olympic Day is happening during the day. Volunteer for a time slot or bring in some grapes or oranges for the kiddos. More details in the flyers below.
- June 2 until we sell out: limited yearbooks will be available for sale for $25 if you missed out on the pre-order opportunity. See flyer below for sale times.
Spring has Sprung, which means our lost and found is already growing since Spring break! If your child is missing a jacket, hat, water bottle or a lunchbox check the lost & found area located next to the cafeteria doorway. Some morning we will display the lost and found rack in front of the office.
Labeling your items with first and last name helps us to get lost items back to our students. Please label all items sent to school!
