ACES in the Sun!

All Falcon Ridge students enjoyed a great day outside celebrating the importance of teamwork and physical fitness. We had 28 stations that were prepared by physical education teachers Mrs. Herrmann and Mr. Wagner. We had incredible parent support to assist in pulling this event off, as over 56 volunteers gave of their time so that students could participate in the various activities. Everyone's help-big or small-was greatly appreciated!

Fall Assessment Conferences

Save the date!

K-5 Pre-School Assessment Conferences will be held for ALL elementary students on August 31 and September 1. There will be NO school on these days so please plan accordingly. The first day of school will be September 2. Continue to watch your mailbox this summer for more detailed information!

Math Masters Competition

Congratulations to our Falcon Ridge 5th grade students who participated in the recent Math Masters competition at Lakeville North High School. Along with advisor Mrs. Prchal, students from across the district spent the majority of an entire day showcasing their math knowledge against several other area schools. Great job everyone!

"Being the Good!"

Last week, a group of 4th grade girls at Falcon Ridge stepped up in support of one of our 2nd grade students, Braden Flicek. Braden is currently fighting neuroblastoma-a form of cancer. The girls made rubberband/wristbands, and made them available for sale last week for $1 to everyone at Falcon Ridge.

Our students bought...and bought...and bought. Over $560 was donated to the Flicek family to help them-and Braden in their battle for a clean bill of health. THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up in support of Braden!
