Starting tonight the Falls City Tiger Football team is kicking off their annual fundraiser. We will be selling discount cards for 25$ a piece. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses who support the card and the local community who buy the cards we have been able to make major upgrades to the program, pay for camps and attend valuable coaches clinics. We have included photos of some of the items we have purchased to help Tiger Football move forward. Players will be hitting the streets over the next week selling cards. Help support Tiger Football by buying a card or maybe buy a few. All money raised goes directly back to the team. Thanks again to all our boosters and local businesses for your support!

FCPS staff would like to thank F&M Bank for the coffee and creamer to start the year! #FCProud

FCPS had a great first day back with all staff! We started the morning with some food, fellowship, & a welcome back address from Mr. Heckenlively! Congratulations & our heartfelt appreciation go out to Mrs. Skylar Kreifels, our educator of the year! Thank you for all that you do!

The recipient of this year’s award, Skylar Kreifels, consistently demonstrates unwavering dedication, innovative spirit, and a genuine care for our school community, all of which make her a perfect fit for this honor. As a former Falls City Public graduate, many educators had a hand in helping Skylar succeed as an outstanding student. Now, a handful of years later, she is returning the favor and supporting all of us. In her role as Technology Director, Mrs. Skylar Keifels consistently exceeds expectations, ensuring that Falls City Public Schools remains at the forefront of technological advancements. Her efforts have significantly enriched the learning environment, empowering both students and faculty members alike. Whether it’s tackling complex technical issues, implementing cutting-edge software solutions, or pioneering digital initiatives, she consistently demonstrates diligence and proficiency. While Skylar supports students with a technology-related challenge or offers guidance to fellow staff members, her kindness and professionalism leave a mark on the ones she works with. The purpose of the award is to recognize excellence in the field of education.
