The First Fun Friday of the school year has finally arrived and the theme is....OVERSIZED BOARD GAMES! We will have events ranging from Human Foosball to Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos! Students should already know their team colors (either the Purple tigers, Red wolves, Green snakes, or Yellow hornets). They may wear their colors to support their team or wear regular Friday attire. *Note* Must follow school appropriate guidelines.* Make sure to apply sunscreen and wear gym shoes. The times for each grade level's Fun Friday are listed below if you would like to see your kiddos in action! See you there! 9:15-10:30 - K5 through 2nd grade 12:00-1:15 - 3rd through 5th grade 1:30-2:45 - 6th thorough 8th grade

The Falcon Ladies volleyball team took home the win against Christ Church and the boys soccer team lost a hard fought game 1-0 in the final seconds to Hampton Park. Both teams played hard and showed perseverance. Great job Falcons!

The Lead Academy Choir did an outstanding job performing the National Anthem at the United Way Rally at the TD Center this morning. Check out the video on our Facebook page!

Just a reminder that students who arrive to school after 7:50 are tardy. Keep in mind that any student with 10 or more tardies is considered truant and may be required to create an attendance intervention plan. Every day students are tardy they are missing valuable crew time and instruction. Thank you to those that get here consistently on time. We realize traffic happens and life happens but please try your hardest to get to school on time each day. If we can assist in any way, please let us know. #wearecrewnotpassengers

Just a reminder that we use Jumprope Mastery Grading for our grading platform rather than Powerschool. We will send home parent logins for jumprope with progress reports next Thursday, 9/19. At that point, you will be able to login anytime you want to see progress. We wanted to make sure people were aware when logins will be sent home since we've had a few inquiries about it. Have a great day!

Students had a great time at the back to school dance this afternoon.

2nd grade is learning yoga. They then wrote about how it helps them this morning and are convincing 5th grade to try it out .

K5 is enjoying exploring new math games this morning.

Lead Academy Falcons had a busy day yesterday with volleyball, soccer and cross country all in action. All teams played hard and represented well. They continue to improve every time they step on the field or court.

Reminder: dress down day is tomorrow. Pay $1 at the door and wear school appropriate clothing of your choice.

My apologies. Cost of dance is $5. I left that off original post.
