Message from the Principals
Dear Falcon Families,
As 2020 begins, there are some big changes in the Nest. Mr. Jenkins has taken an opportunity and will be the new assistant principal at Waynesboro Area High School. While we will certainly miss Mr. Jenkins and his antics in the Nest, we are excited to welcome Mr. Eric DeAngelis to the Nest as our new assistant principal. Mr. DeAngelis comes to us with many years of experience as an assistant principal, including the last 3 at Waynesboro Area Middle School. His specialties definitely include building relationships with learners and families, establishing systems and processes to ensure smooth running of the building, and teaching middle level ELA. We look forward to his expertise as we continue to work to ensure #ItsSTILLaBeautifulDayInTheFVNest!Mrs. McGuire

What's Next in the Nest?
We have wrapped up our focus on Helping Others like Harper and will be moving on to Paco and Positive Change. As we go through the month, ask your child what color goes with Paco and what positive change means. MANY of learners are working hard to make positive changes even when it's really hard!
At this time, we are still planning to administer PSSAs for 3rd-5th grades in April. If this changes, we will let you know. Please do NOT plan any trips during this time.
TEAMology
How can YOU be part of our TEAM?
Winter parties will be held on 1/8/21 due to our virtual days before the holiday break. If you are a room parent, please help by talking to your child's teacher or the PTO directly.
Harper Helps Others!
Family Resources for Helping Others
Check out the attached Random Acts of Kindness calendar below. February will have Random Acts of Kindness Week sponsored by the school, but this is a great start for ideas you can do at home!
Mrs. McGuire's Monthly Challenge
How can you help others in your community during the new year? Clearing snow from driveways, taking mail to someone's house, walking a neighbor's dog for them...what ideas do YOU have to help our community and show #GoodNeighbors? #WontYouBeMyNeighbor
Write down some ideas or record a short video clip and email them to FVFalconPride@wasdpa.org. We will share some of the responses on our monitors in the school and on our social media pages!
