Falls City Public School students, have a great summer break!
Last Saturday the Falls City Tiger Football coaching staff in conjunction with the Falls City Flag Football League hosted their 4th Annual Cody Jones Memorial Football Clinic. We love the opportunity to work with our next generation of football players and teach the game we love. Special thanks to Poppe Reality for their support of the camp. Go Tigers!
National Band Director's Day is observed annually on May 20th. It's a day to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of band directors who shape students' musical journeys and contribute to their well-rounded education. Thank you Ms. Phillips for your hard work!
🎉💥 Bubble Gum + Science = The Perfect Last Day of School! 💥🎉
Our 6th grade students wrapped up the year with one of their favorite traditions: the Bubble Gum Lab! 🍬🧪
This hands-on, end-of-year activity is always a hit, and it’s more than just fun, it’s science in action! Using the scientific method, students:
🔬 Formed hypotheses
📊 Collected and organized data
📏 Measured bubble diameter and stretch length
🔄 Compared variables between two types of bubble gum!
Not only did they get to blow bubbles, but they also applied real-world scientific skills to explore which gum blows the biggest and stretches the farthest. 💭📈
Way to go, future scientists! 👏🧠💡

Please see the attached flier for a summer music learning opportunity! David and Glenda von Behren have been making a positive impact in our community with this program for several years now.
With the end of another school year comes the memories that mark that year as well as the time to say good-bye, good luck, thank-you, and happy retirement. To our retirees,
Linnette Fankhauser
Mike Kafer
Kim Oliver
Jeanne Holloway
Cindy Fritz
Susan Windle
In addition, Emily Osterhaus, Jim Robidoux, Jamie Frederick, Josh McCampbell, Sheyenne Farwell, and Clarissa Ross will be moving into new positions outside the school district and we want to say thank you and good luck for their service to the students of FCPS.
As they came together to mark the occasion, we proudly look ahead to their continued growth and success. Here is a glimpse of part of the Class of 2038! We are so proud of their accomplishments and excited for all that lies ahead as they begin their next chapter in kindergarten!

Thank you to all the presenters for taking time out of your busy schedules to be with us! Also, thank you to Mrs. Erickson and Mrs. Ankrom (UNL Extension office) for helping to ensure that the day ran smoothly.
Good luck to our Tiger Golfers as they compete at C-1 Districts in Lincoln today!

Congratulations to Audrey Scrivens and Liv Buckminster for both earning 5th place medals at the State Jr. High Track Meet Saturday at Gothenburg. Audrey broke her own school record in the 400 meter dash running 1.00.27, and Liv jumped an impressive 5'0" at high jump. The state meet at the middle school level is an all classes event. Congrats girls, and way to represent FCMS! 🧡
The first graders took a walking trip to the Falls City Library and Arts Center to celebrate the conclusion of their unit on American Independence and Frontier Explorers.
The Falls City FFA chapter held the annual banquet April 27, 2025. The chapter kicked off the night with a meal and thanking donors, sponsors, and other volunteers for all the support they gave us throughout the year. The officer team gave out awards for degrees, SAE’s, went over competitions and handed out awards members earned throughout the year. Our officer team presented a slideshow with photos from events throughout the 2024-25 year. We concluded with inducting a new officer team and sending off our senior members and officers. On Monday, May 5 the Falls City FFA chapter put on the annual farms to you event for Falls City Public and Falls City Sacred Heart K - 2nd graders at North School. Officers and members brought animals for the students to come and see and learn about local farm animals. The chapter had 2 goats, a horse, a bottle calf, sheep, a pig, a rabbit, and chickens. There were one or two FFA members assigned to each animal that informed the students on the animal’s daily life and told some fun facts. The young students also got a chance to pet and interact with the livestock.
