2025 - 2026 | Vol. 1
Hello new and returning Falcons!

 The Falcon Flyer is Home & School’s weekly update designed to make school life simple: what’s coming up, where we need helping hands, and how to stay connected. Whether you’re brand-new or a familiar face, there’s a place for you here. Together we’re connecting families, supporting students, and building community—one week at a time. 

Meet This Year's Board!

Franconia’s Home & School Association is made up of parents and caregivers—just like you—who volunteer their time to help build community, support our students, and partner with teachers and staff. We’re excited to introduce this year’s board members who will be working behind the scenes (and often out front!) to make events, fundraisers, and school spirit possible.

Angela Sacks, President

Hey Falcons! My name is Angela Sacks, and I’m honored to serve as this year’s Home & School Association President. I was previously the Home & School Association Treasurer. As both a parent of a 2nd grader and Franconia alumni, and an active member of our school community, I’m excited to work alongside our dedicated board, teachers, and families to continue building on the traditions that make Franconia such a special place.  My goal this year is to connect families, support students, and help to build our Falcon community. I look forward to meeting many of you at upcoming events and working together to make this a wonderful year for our kids! 

Jennifer O'Leary, Vice President

Hello Falcons! I'm Jennifer O’Leary, the Vice President of home and school. I have one child at Franconia in 5th grade, Zachary. It is a truly a great community we live in! I look forward to working with everyone this upcoming year and making it a great one for our kids!   

Alicia Malke, Treasurer

Hi Franconia Falcons,

My name is Alicia Malke and I am the Treasurer for the Home and School Board. I have a 5th grader, Olivia, a 2nd grader, Emmie and in 2026 I will have an incoming Kindergartener, Bennett. I am a proud Souderton Area School District Alumni and have lived in the area my whole life (except for 3 years spent in Middletown, DE). In fact, my mom went to Franconia Elementary many years ago!  I love supporting our school through this position and am excited about all the wonderful activities we have planned for our Falcons. Here's to a successful and fun year ahead at Franconia!

Crystal Fairchok, Secretary

Hi Falcon Families! My name is Crystal Fairchok and I am the secretary of the Franconia Home and School Association. I grew up in Bensalem and migrated from Pittsburgh to Telford in 2016. My husband and I have a 5th grader here at Franconia as well as a few furry family members. My goal this year is to make H&S more welcoming, allowing more families to volunteer and become more involved in their child/children's experience here at Franconia. Prior to volunteering with H&S, I have volunteered as a classroom parent, field trip chaperone, field day volunteer amongst many other activities we have here. If you are interested in doing more, please reach out! We are always in need of volunteers and ideas for the kiddos!

Thanks!

Crystal
