Hello families! I hope you are launching into a fantastic summer!  I wanted to share with all of you a significant shift in our four-year-old kindergarten programming.  We are excited to offer full-day four-year-old kindergarten, four days per week, beginning in the fall of 2024.  Programming will run the full school day on Mondays - Thursdays.  Friday will still be a day off for our 4K students.  While some of you haven’t had children at the 4K level for many years, we wanted to share this shift with everyone so that you can help us spread the word! This shift was just approved at the Board of Education meeting that was held on June 17th.  While enrolled 4K students and families have already received their section and classroom assignments for fall, Forrest Street has been reaching out this week with updated information. Our 4K team of teachers and staff are excited by this opportunity - we hope you are as well! We are happy to answer any questions that you may have. My contact information is as follows: melanie.floyd@brf.org Office: (715) 284-9406 ext. 4001 Cell: (715) 896-8165 Wishing you well, Melanie Floyd

Falls CC has some good things going this summer. Realize that we are always looking for interested runners and are working to improve our numbers. We run our middle and high school programs together. This summer, we initiated our G.R.I.T. Running Challenge—"Great Runners Initiate Training"—and it started this week. Cross country is a great sport for building general fitness and is an excellent way to prepare for other sports. We work hard, but we have fun as a team!    We also have the weight room available on M-W-F from 10:30 to 12:00, and this is open to both middle and high school runners. If you have any questions, contact Head Coach Steve Markee or Varsity Assistant Paul Rykken or middle school coaches Mike Shepard or Eli Youngthunder.  #tigrrpride
