We held our first of the year Friday Falcon Flyer Google Meets this morning. We do this every Friday morning during the school year to recognize students for making great choices and SOARing during the school week. Every class has two Falcon Flyer winners-see our picture of this week's honorees. Congratulations also to Mrs. Kohlmeyer's 1st graders for earning Wings tickets during specials. Gooooo Falcons!
We practiced bus safety this week. Every classroom boarded the bus, reviewed bus rules, and then practiced a bus evacuation. We are ready for some awesome field trips!
Rochester Public Schools uses the Standard Response Protocol in response to emergencies that may occur in our school buildings. Students and staff will train, practice, and drill the protocol throughout the year. Learn more about what "hold," "secure," "lockdown," "evacuate," and "shelter" mean: https://www.rochesterschools.org/standard-response-protocol
We gathered for an all-school assembly on our first day. It was fun to sing our school song and be altogether in the same space. It's going to be an amazing school year!
Some candids of this year's 5th graders on our first day of school. Goooo Falcons!
Welcome to our 25-26 school year! Our Folwell teams are excited to serve our Folwell School community.
Our first two days of school this week were amazing! Our Kinders did great with eating their first school lunch meals in our cafeteria.
Folwell families: A reminder about the detour for the first day of school tomorrow! Due to construction on 2nd Street, there will be increased traffic flow to 6th Street, one of the most common routes to Folwell. But there's a better way! Check out our advised route for the Load & Go line at bit.ly/folwellroute. (Approaching from the south is the key!)
It was a beautiful evening for our Kindergarten Popsicles on the Playground event. It's going to be such a fun year with these new Kinders!

Some last day of school smiles...we had an amazing year together!
Our 3rd graders have been experiencing deeper learning through the biomes projects. They researched a biome, learned about animals and habitats in that biome, and then created their own animal that would live there. Today they viewed each other's projects and gave feedback to each other. Great researching and writing-you should be so proud! Pictured is Mrs. Howes's class.
Today our 5th grade families joined us to we celebrated our 5th graders at our Folwell 5th Grade Recognition. We have one more day with you at Folwell and then you will spread your wings and SOAR. "Once a Falcon, always a Falcon!"
We reached our goal of earning 600 finishing strong tickets in the last three weeks! Here are students we honored for being leaders at Folwell! Mrs. Pearsons's and Mrs. Lewis's students earned the Wings awards and Mrs. Leisinger's students were the first class to returm ALL their library books. Nice work, Falcons!
Our Folwell first graders experienced deeper learning through their animal research projects. They became an expert on their animal, wrote about their animal's facts, and created their animal out of clay. They shared their learnjng with families last Friday. Your parents and teachers were so proud of your work. Way to go, 1st graders and teachers!
Our Kindergartners performed some songs and shared their memory boxes with families last week. You've grown so much this year and have had a great year in K!
Our awesome PTSA created and provided every Folwell student and staff member with our own copy of the Folwell 24-25 yearbook. Students started bringing them home yestrrday while others may be keeping them at school.for a few days. Thank you for making and funding this project for all of us, PTSA! We love it!
These awesome Mayo grads walked our Folwell halls today, celebrating their upcoming graduation with us. Congratulations!
