A favorite weekly tradition is our Friday Google Meet, where we recognize a class for earning their Wings and our Falcon Flyer drawing.winners. Our school earned a record-breaking 334 Falcon Flyers this week!Here are this week's Falcons who SOARed!



Proud of these Falcons-they have gone Above & Beyond in their classrooms this month. We honored them at pur December assembly on Wednesday.


Our December assembly on Wednesday focused on R-Respectful. We talked about how we can SOAR at school and home by showing respect for others. We are Folwell-together we SOAR!

We held our November assembly this week. We explored what A-Always.Learning means with our SOAR acronymn. We also recognized Above.&.Beyond award winners who consistently SOAR every day at Folwell!






Mrs. Lanza's 4th graders played Battleship in PE with Mr. Thome last week. It's one of our favorites!





Mrs. Coffing's 5th graders designed their dream bedrooms and calculated the cost of their room. They are on display in our media center right now.
