Community Update
Good afternoon Fallingbrook families,
We’d like to start by thanking our amazing PTC for the outstanding work they did leading up to the successful Run4Fun we had last week. The weather held out so that everyone was able to have fun with the bouncy castles, face painting, games, fire trucks, food and silent auction. It was great to see so many families having a great time. We’d also like to thank the PTC for the ice cream that they provided for every student today! This group of parents have a tremendous impact on our school. We’d also like to thank PTC members whose children are heading off to high school. Some of them have been on PTC for 10 years! We’re also hoping that new members can join so that we can continue the great work that this team does.
A reminder that tomorrow is a PA Day and there is no school for students. We hope they enjoy the long weekend!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Nowiski and Michelle Minogue
