Our Folwell October Assembly focused on O-Own Your Behavior. It was great to talk with our students about how important it is to learn and grow from the choices we make.

We also honored our October Above & Beyond award winners and sang our school song. We love gathering as a school for our monthly assemblies! Keep SOARing and GOOOO Falcons!
