Making Your Mark!

This past week we recognized 5th grader Evelyn (Evie) Wegner with a new-and what we hope to be reoccurring-student acknowledgement. In combination with Falcon Ridge's PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) initiative, the "Making Your Mark!" award is meant to spotlight students who have gone above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others in school or in the community. 

Along with her family, Evie created a haunted house this past fall, open to the public for regular visits and scares. There was no charge for admission, only a request to donate a non-perishable food item to our local Peace Center food shelf. Through the Wegner family efforts, $1750 in cash and 1083 pounds of food were donated. Thank you Evie, for Making Your Mark!
