Updates and Info from Dr. T
Farley Elementary School - February 22, 2026
This week, we are excited to host our Spring Book Fair, giving students an opportunity to discover new books and build their love of reading. On Friday, we will also celebrate our teachers with a well-deserved Duty-Free Lunch in appreciation of their hard work and dedication.
Looking ahead, we will celebrate Read Across America Week, March 2–6, with special activities to promote literacy across campus. We are also preparing to welcome our Blue Ribbon Site Visit team on March 11–12, an important milestone for our school community. Finally, please note that Spring Break will be March 16–20. We look forward to a busy and exciting few weeks ahead!
Any parents who are interested in participating in the Blue Ribbon focus group on March 11 are asked to please email Dr. T.
Can you believe it is course registration time for middle school?
One of our goals is for every Farley 5th grader to take at least one Honors course in 6th grade — because we know they’re more than ready for the challenge!
And for those future rock stars in the making, Mr. Owens has invited the Challenger band director to campus to help interested students choose their instruments.

Paper Chase 5K
Interested in some family fun that could possibly earn money for our school? Join Farley Elementary's Paper Chase 5K team! The race is February 28th located in Downtown Huntsville. Paper Chase is sponsored by Free to Teach which is a great program that helps our teachers get the supplies they need during the school year! There are two race sign up options (one for teachers, staff, and students and one for non-school kids and adults). Register by January 31st for a T-shirt! **Registration ends February 25th**
Not an experienced runner or hate running? NO PROBLEM! This race is all about enjoying time out in downtown Huntsville with family and friends and walking is also allowed! Be sure to include Farley Elementary when picking to "Join a Team" on the registration page. If our school can get the most runners/walkers participating, we could win $1,500 for our library and technology needs!
