Friday Night Lights are back in Falcon Nation! This past week, our community came together for Falcon High School's home opener, and it was awesome to see the stands filled with families, students, staff, and community members supporting our Falcon Football, Cheer, and Falcon High Marching Regiment.

Our student section brought the energy from the opening whistle, leading the charge and showing everyone what Falcon Nation spirit looks like. Our Cheer team kept the crowd fired up with incredible routines and even welcomed a local troop featuring students from across the Falcon Zone to join them in cheering on our Falcons. What a great example of Networking, building connections that bring our schools and community together!

The Falcon High Marching Regiment also took the field to introduce this year's Western-themed program. Their performance was incredible, and you could see the Grit, Self-Confidence, and Integrity behind every step. The hours of preparation, commitment to excellence, and pride they bring to their craft are already on full display as they prepare for this year's competitions and another run toward the state contest. We even watched as the FMS Firebird Bands joined the Falcons in pep song performances to energize the crowd with some well know tunes!

Our Falcon Football team brought the fight from the opening kickoff, including an incredible onside kick to start the game that they successfully recovered! While the final score wasn’t what our Falcons hoped for, their effort never wavered. Play after play, they continued to compete, support one another, and work to get better together. That is Grit!

The best part of the night was seeing Falcon Nation come together. These moments remind us that our schools are more than buildings, they are places where relationships are built, passions are discovered, and students have opportunities to learn, lead, and grow.

Falcon High is looking forward to partnering with schools across the Falcon Zone for special theme nights throughout the year, creating even more opportunities to connect our students, families, and communities.

What a night! Way to go FHS, and way to show us what it means to Earn our WINGS together!

Through Engaging Environments, Enhanced Opportunities, and Elevated Instruction, we Empower all Learners to Earn their WINGS!

In the Falcon Zone we pride ourselves on having the most incredible staff! We want to give our community a chance to recognize those people that make a difference in our schools and for our students every day! Please let us know who is making a positive impact for your student. Let us know who has gone above and beyond to enhance your experience in our zone. Let us know who is doing an outstanding job!

Every staff member that is recognized will receive a note of recognition and a shoutout in our community newsletter. Staff members include not only teachers but secretaries, administrators, custodial & kitchen staff, paras, etc.

We want to know who is making a difference! Thank you for taking the time to fill out this quick form!

Mrs. Putney (MRES) - Debbie is an incredible role model for all of her teammates! Debbie thinks whole picture when we sit down to plan, or collaborate which helps us do what is best for our kids! Debbie is always willing to offer a solution we may not have had in mind when we have an issue that can be tricky. Debbie supports all staff members at MRES. So many of us would be lost without her!

Mrs. Putney (MRES) - I would like to recognize Mrs. Putney for creating a welcoming and supportive classroom where my son feels encouraged to learn and grow. She has fostered a strong learning community that helps him feel confident, supported, and excited to learn new concepts. Because of her dedication and positive influence, he continues to excel not only academically, but socially and personally. We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Putney and the meaningful difference she makes in her students’ lives.

Megan Frick (FES) - Megan always goes above and beyond for our preschool kids. She radiates positivity, is an extremely hard worker, and best of all loves working with our littles! My son adores her and looks forward to preschool when he gets to see his Ms Megan! Thank you for all that you do for our kids!!!

Brenda Waldron (FES) - Ms. Brenda is an incredible preschool teacher. She works to receive grant funding so the students have access to enrichment and learning beyond the classroom. For example, she received a grant so the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo-Mobile could visit their preschool classes. That was such an exciting experience for the kids, and my son still talks about it. Furthermore, her background in special education is a huge asset to the classroom because she adapts the environment and curriculum for every learner and their unique needs. My son has some sensory needs and she has been very thoughtful in accommodating him. Finally, Ms. Brenda is joyful and playful- the kids cannot wait to see what she will dress up as or go in character for next! Her joy is contagious, and our kids are so lucky to have her as their teacher. Thank you Ms. Brenda for everything you do!!!
