Fireside Pride

Dear Fireside Falcons, 
Hopefully, everyone's settling back into the rhythm of the school schedule. We sure enjoyed seeing all of you at Back to School Night this week. If you missed my presentation, feel free to view it here

I've had a chance to read this year's book, Be Kind, to all classrooms the past two weeks; the theme of kindness seems to come quite effortlessly to our Fireside Falcons. We discussed different acts of kindness at school as well as in the home and community and the rippling effect it has. Ask your child/ren about the book and ways they might contribute within your own family circle. 


We also had our beginning of the year PRIDE assembly to kick off the school year, promote this year's Jogathon, and to celebrate all the bond project enhancements with a blue-ribbon-cutting ceremony. Students were reminded of what it means to be a Fireside Falcon, opening the assembly with our all school movement and closing it with our Fireside Falcon song. Coming together as a school community for assemblies is another way we solidify the unity of students and staff. 

As most of you are aware by now, our one and only fundraiser is underway. We're so grateful for our Jogathon planning crew who've worked tirelessly to coordinate the event. The three day weekend is a perfect opportunity for our Fireside Falcons to creatively fundraise for the event. This year's Jogathon will be on September 14th. 

Wishing you all a "Labor free" 3-day weekend and hopefully, you're able to come out for this year's Louisville Labor Day parade!

Your proud Fireside Falcon,
