The 2026 - 2027 Falls City FFA officer team is starting their summer break preparing for next year. Officers are attending the annual Chapter Officer Leadership Training. We can't wait to see what the next year brings!

This morning during 1st period we had the "State Track Walk" for our state qualifiers.
The students body got fired up for the qualifiers. Best of luck Jennifer Sweeney, Tanner Jackson, and Audrey Scrivens. (not pictured Caleb Offner) There will be a send off at 2 pm Thursday from the parking lot of Farm and City Supply.

The link to High School Volleyball BAND was not valid during the 8th grade volleyball meeting. Any incoming Freshman Girl who is interested in playing volleyball in high school next year, along with their parents/guardians should use this QR code to join. Thanks!

Soon to be seniors, Tripp Lippold, Harley Sutton, Jennifer Sweeney, and soon to be junior, Madalynn Hawley, recently auditioned for and was accepted into the All-State Musicals 2026-which is a very high honor in the theater world.

Harley will be in Disney's "High School Musical" and Tripp, Jennifer, and Madalynn will be in "Shrek the Musical." Both musicals will rehearse for 2.5 days at Midland University and then will perform to a packed audience.

Congratulations to you all.

Congratulations to Cohen Shields for placing 2nd today in the high jump today at the state middle school meet at Gothenburg. The state middle school meet is an all class event. Cohen jumped at impressive 5'8" today! Congratulations Cohen! 🥈

Helping with food distribution is priceless - watching the gratitude of those you serve and the humbleness of the students who do it. And costly because middle school kids can eat! All jokes aside. It cost us nothing but extreme pride for our students who will step up and help out. Food is the finest reward. Thank you students for helping this year.
