Can you believe Thanksgiving Break is just three weeks away? November is a great reminder to slow down, enjoy the little things, and take a moment to appreciate what we’re thankful for. As we head into the busy holiday season, we hope you find time to enjoy the season and make some good memories along the way!

The holiday season brings opportunities to both give and receive support within our community. Whether you need assistance with a Thanksgiving meal, holiday gifts for children, or would like to donate a Thanksgiving basket to help another family, please see the linked Holiday Support Opportunities Newsletter. Our goal is to help every family enjoy a warm, joyful holiday season!

Thanks for being part of our village,

Empowering Moments

From Superintendent Smith...

What a fantastic way to celebrate Halloween across the Falcon Zone! On Friday, October 30, Falcon Elementary, Bennett Ranch Elementary, and Woodmen Hills Elementary hosted their annual Trunk or Treat events, bringing students, families, staff, and community partners together for an evening of Halloween fun. From creatively decorated trunks and incredible costumes to smiles, laughter, and plenty of treats, it was wonderful to see so many people come together to make these events special for our students.

A huge thank-you to the staff, parents, local businesses, and community organizations who helped make these celebrations possible. Their generosity and willingness to give their time reflect the Integrity and community spirit that make the Falcon Zone such a special place. These events also provide wonderful opportunities for Networking, building relationships, and strengthening the connections that support our students and schools. And seeing our students proudly show off their costumes was a great reminder of the Self-Confidence that comes from having a community that celebrates and encourages them!

Our Falcon Zone Leadership Team also enjoyed a little reverse Trick or Treating, visiting schools and delivering treats to staff teams throughout the buildings. It was a fun opportunity to connect with colleagues, celebrate the great work happening across our schools, and enjoy the creativity of everyone's costumes!

With Halloween behind us, we are already looking ahead to the holiday season. There is still so much to celebrate and experience as we continue through second quarter. Thank you for continuing to show up for our students, support one another, and make the Falcon Zone a community where everyone has the opportunity to Earn their WINGS.

Through Engaging Environments, Enhanced Opportunities, and Elevated Instruction, we Empower all Learners to Earn their WINGS!
