Falls City Public Schools

Today, the 4-H Exploration class started their Safety Unit with a visit from CMC staff, Kim Schawang and Diane Krogmann. The ladies introduced 9-1-1 and basic life saving CPR techniques to the students. Students were able to practice chest compressions and proper AED use. Thank you Kim and Diane for sharing your expertise and thank you to CMC for donating personal first aid kits for students in this class!

This week, FCPS is proud to recognize Mrs. Lisa Pierce and the important role she plays in supporting our students, families, and staff.

Mrs. Pierce brings knowledge, compassion, and a student-centered approach to her work each day. Whether collaborating with teachers and families, supporting student needs, or helping teams determine the best path forward for a student, her work makes a difference throughout our district.

Thank you, Mrs. Pierce, for your dedication to the well-being, learning, and success of our students and for all you do for Falls City Public Schools!

We appreciate you!

North School would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderful P.I.E. (Partners in Education) for their generous check presentation yesterday!

Their continued support helps provide meaningful field trip experiences for our Kindergarten through 2nd Grade students and supports our PCC through 2nd Grade PBIS activities throughout the school year.

Because of their generosity, our students have opportunities to learn beyond the classroom, create lasting memories, and be recognized and rewarded for demonstrating positive behaviors and following our ROARS expectations!

We are incredibly grateful for P.I.E.'s dedication to giving back to our schools and making a difference in the lives of our students.

Thank you, P.I.E., for investing in our students and helping make North School such a special place to learn and grow!

Big shout out to P.I.E. for their ongoing support of our schools and staff! This generous donation helps sponsor student field trips, PBIS rewards, and the libraries. Not only that, but they also treated our staff to popcorn and m&ms. We are so thankful for you, P.I.E.!
