Wednesday, December 17th the Falls City Middle School FCA group had a Christmas breakfast celebration. A devotion was read, games were played, and some gift exchanging took place. Have a blessed holiday from your FCA group and sponsors.

NJHS members stocked the little pantry as a service project. They all brought in food to help out the community.

Mr. Wertenberger's Intro to Skilled Trades class is making the shop look like Santa's workshop. The students are planing, filing, and sanding boot jacks and I-pad holders for Christmas presents. Sorry if I ruined the surprise.

On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in front of family, friends, and teachers, 10 High School musicians were inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society in the Falls City High School Auditorium. Arryn Chandler, Ryder Hullman, Miyuna Kong, Tripp Lippold, Caroline Macardican, Kaytlin Rhodd, Audrey Scrivens, Andre Shafer, Jennifer Sweeney, and Burke Wissman are the SECOND class to be inducted into Chapter #9367. These music students were carefully selected by their High School Music Directors on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Scholarship represents scholastic achievement and open-mindedness toward knowledge and truth. Character emphasizes a devotion to high ideals and recognizes no barriers between people of diverse backgrounds. Leadership guides us to great undertakings. And service encourages assistance and kindness to others. The name Tri-M was derived from the original name of the honor society-Modern Music Masters.
A member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society is one who sets a good example, is always willing to assist those students who are striving to better themselves in the music department, and always remembers that real honor brings responsibility.
The Tri-M emblem was designed to symbolize the function and purpose of the honor society. The music staff, the lyre, and the scroll represent the members’ proficiency and service in the field of music. The triplet figure in the form of an M symbolizes the three M’s in the name Modern Music Masters, from which the society’s name was derived.
Alisha Sutton-Director of Choirs & Piano at FCMS/FCHS- is the chapter's Sponsor.
