Falls City Public Schools

The Falls City high school Life Skills class will be taking on a new adventure this year. Our students will be running their own coffee shop. It will be called "Kind Grounds".

They will serve coffee and treats. The students will be responsible for making the coffee and some of the treats. We will be serving coffee and treats to the administrators at their weekly administrator meetings at the high school on Tuesdays. We will also be selling coffee and treats to the high school staff during study hall once a week.

The students will do inventory, take money, count change, cook and make the coffee.

We are gearing up for the In School Savings Program at South School. You may hear it referred to as the "Tiger Branch Bank" too! This program is for 3rd-5th grade students. They have the opportunity to participate in two deposit days per month. There are many incentives for participating, including a $5 match for the first deposit. At the end of their South School journey, Frontier Bank will write the student a check for the amount saved. This program provides many learning opportunities for students including how to make a deposit, how to fill out a deposit slip, and how to save money. 5th grade students also have the chance to be a teller. If you are interested in this program, please fill out and return the permission slip. Students should have already received one. If you need a new copy, please ask the office or print one off our school website under "Falls City South Elementary School". Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Interesting in learning more? Be sure to check out the In School Savings Program brochure on our school website. Click "Menu" and look under Falls City South Elementary School to find it.

This picture shows the deposit dates for the 2025-2026 school year. There is no deadline for the permission slips, however, each student must have one turned in before they are able to make a deposit. If there are any changes due to weather in the winter months, new dates will be announced via Class Dojo and the school Facebook page. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Happy saving!
