2025 - 2026 | Vol. 4

Hello Franconia Families

Welcome to Volume 4 of the Falcon Flyer! We’re rolling into another exciting week at Franconia with lots happening on the calendar. From upcoming events to volunteer opportunities, this newsletter has everything you need to stay connected and involved.

Thank you for your continued support—it makes all the difference for our students, staff, and community. Let’s jump into this week’s updates!

Math Magic in Action!

Our first graders are working together during math workshop - sharing materials, solving problems, and showing what it means to SOAR.

Wild About Our Buddies

New buddies, new memories! Our 3^rd graders in Mrs. Moyer's class and Mrs. Mill's kindergarten class had their first meet up and had a blast creating fun animal masks together.

Trunk or Treat

Calling All Volunteers!

We’re gearing up for our Trunk or Treat, and we need YOUR creativity to make it a spook-tacular success! Families will walk from trunk to trunk collecting candy and enjoying all the decorated themes—and we can’t do it without you.

Here is how you can get involved:

👉 Sign up to help out at the event!

👉 Sign up to host a trunk!
Bring your car, decorate it in a fun or spooky theme, and hand out treats to our little ghosts and goblins. It’s a fun way to get involved, show off your creativity, and be part of a memory-making night for our kids.
