Tiger versus Jeff’s round 2. Subs at Auburn
The first graders completed their reading unit on different habitats. The students made a habitat diorama to go along with one they studied. Today, parents/guardians and other students were invited to come view their dioramas.
As the NFL season comes to an end Tiger Football will start up. We offer voluntary morning walk throughs for 6-11th graders based on position. This year we will not be using social media to communicate. We have made the move to Band. It will contain important documents, schedules, attendance and other valuable information for parents and players. All parents and players will be on the same Band site "Falls City Tiger Football". I will be signing players up at morning walk throughs. Parents I will send the sign up link out through school text to ensure that only parents have access to the site. I won't send it out till I get all the bugs worked out so it might be another week or two before I actively engage parents. Our first morning walk through is tomorrow at 7:00AM in the middle school gym for offensive linemen and middle school students. These are voluntary and not mandatory for kids who want to practice fundamentals.
C1-1 Boys sub-district Basketball at Auburn. The Tigers will play Fairbury at 7pm.
