The kindergarten class celebrated "when I grow up" by dressing as what they want to be when they grow up and sang some farewell songs. Parents were in attendance. Pictures to follow the fantastic day. Congratulations to the kindergarten class on finishing out the year strong.

We are so incredibly grateful for all of our amazing staff members and want to take a moment to say THANK YOU! We couldn't do it without them! Check out our special video to express our gratitude, featuring a special appearance by the Falcon!

Our facilities need immediate attention as some are on the verge of not being useable due to safety concerns and many need significant upgrades over the next 1-3 years to allow continued use. The district is asking for community financial support through a grassroots funding program.

We aim to partner with local businesses and community members to drive facility upgrades. Local businesses and community members are rewarded with many great sponsorship opportunities including but not limited to Naming Rights, Advertisement Opportunities, Donor Wall Recognition, PA Announcements, Season Passes, etc.

The entire project is approximately $2.5 million dollars. The "1st quarter" of the 4 Quarter Drive focuses on replacing the turf. It is 13 years old and at the end of life. An average turf field lasts between 8-12 years. The turf provides athletic opportunities for our football, soccer, lacrosse, youth teams, band, and community. It is a revenue generator for our school, so it needs to be our focus.

See the video below for an introduction and http://clearvision.cmfalcons.org for more information. Reach out to Brian Carey (brian.carey@cmfalcons.org) with questions.

Falcon Flight Paths will serve as an executive summary of what is happening in each grade level. Listed below are the slideshows we used to start the last two school years, and below those are the Flight Paths for each of our grade levels, our unified art classes, our extended standard learners, and our whole-child focus.

#FridayFocus provides Superintendent David Moss the opportunity to interview a student each week to learn more about them, as well as their school experience. Our students are amazing! Come see for yourself! Check out the full playlist here.
