A Message from Our Principal

Dear Farnham Families,

💙 Thank You, Farnham Community!

As we close out another wonderful school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible community that makes Farnham so special. Our teachers, staff, students, and families work together every day to create an elementary experience that truly supports and inspires our kids. It is an honor to be your principal.

🙏 Home and School Club

A heartfelt thank you to our Home and School Club leadership and all HSC members for your tireless dedication to our school. Your work throughout the year brings programs, activities, and celebrations to life that make Farnham a memorable place for every family. Thank you for keeping our Falcon community connected and for going above and beyond to support our staff and students. We are so grateful!

🏫 School Site Council and English Language Advisory Council

Thank you to the parents and staff who serve on our School Site Council and English Language Advisory Council. Your thoughtful collaboration and leadership help shape meaningful decisions and ensure Farnham's voice is heard at the district level.

🌟 Our Volunteers

To every parent who gave their time in classrooms and at school events this year, thank you! Your energy and commitment make a real and lasting difference in our students' experience.

👨‍👩‍👧 Farnham Families

Thank you to every family for your steadfast support throughout the year. From getting your children to school each day, ready to learn, to cheering them on at every milestone, your dedication does not go unnoticed.

🎓 Congratulations to Our Fifth Graders!

To our amazing fifth graders and their families: congratulations and best wishes as you prepare for the next stage of your academic journey! You leave Farnham equipped with knowledge, experiences, and the life skills to take on whatever comes next. We will be here cheering you on every single step of the way! 💙

👋 Wishing Our Staff Well

Please join me in warmly recognizing four staff members who will not be returning to Farnham next year. We are so grateful for the time, care, and dedication that Jenna Greco (Teacher), Emily Watson (School Psychologist Intern), Lupita Weiler (Classroom Aide & Noon Duty Supervisor), and Athene Hoyt (Noon Duty Supervisor) have brought to our school community, and we wish them all the very best in their next adventures!

✨ Thank You to Our Teachers and Staff

And finally, the biggest thank you of all to our incredible Farnham teachers and staff. Your professionalism, compassion, and dedication shine through every single day. You go above and beyond, and our students thrive because of you. Thank you for everything you give to this community. 💛

Be well,

Amy O'Hehir

Farnham Principal

🦅 Celebrating Our Departing Falcon Families

The end of the school year also means a fond farewell to our Farnham families who are "aging out" of our community. Please know that once a Farnham Falcon, always a Farnham Falcon. You will always hold a special place in our Farnham family, and we send you off with our very best wishes.

☕ Volunteer Breakfast This Friday!

To all of our amazing volunteers, YOU are the reason so much of the wonderful work at Farnham is possible! We would love to celebrate YOU at our Volunteer Breakfast this Friday morning at 7:45am. Come enjoy some breakfast, great conversation, and a heartfelt thank you from all of us. We hope to see you there! 🥐✨

CEF Librarian Fund

$30 Helps Keep Librarians in Our Schools

Just $30 per elementary student can help keep TK–5 librarian staffing in our school libraries for next school year. Librarians do more than check out books—they inspire curiosity, support learning, and help students develop a lifelong love of reading.

The end of the school year is approaching -- and so is the deadline to secure TK-5th grade librarian staffing for next year. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to the CEF Librarian Fund! Every donation is helping us move closer to our goal.
