Updates and Info from Dr. T
Farley Elementary School - September 12, 2025
We are SOARing at Farley!
Our PTA is doing an incredible job! 🎉 They’ve already earned the Early Bird Award (50% of last year’s membership) and the Golden Apple Award (100% teacher participation). To reach the next goals, we need just a few more members to achieve the Gold Leaf Award (surpassing last year’s membership total) and the Oak Tree Award (exceeding last year’s total by 20%).
