Thank you Kristy Graham and Marissa Lynn Ladd of ML Querencia Interior Design for this fabulous gift basket and CONGRATULATIONS to Megan Weaver, our “Guess How Many Candy Corn in the Jar” winner!
Welcome to the one-stop shop for everything regarding the upcoming Falcon Frenzy!
When is it?
October 10th 25th, 2019 (Postponed due to snow)
The run portion will be 8:00 to 9:15am for middle school and 9:30 to 10:30 for elementary school.
The carnival will be from 12:30 to 2:20pm.
Pledges are due by Oct 8th.
How much?
Since this is our one major fundraiser of the year, we are collecting $20 from each student who would like to participate, but everyone can raise as much as they can. There will be prizes for the students who raise the most.
However, money will NEVER be a reason why someone cannot participate. All parents/students need to do is ask.
What do you get?
Every student will receive a Falcon Frenzy t-shirt that they will make in art class. Every student will also receive 2 carnival tickets (2 stamps on a wristband) for the paid activities and an otter pop.
Can adults get the cool t-shirts too?
Yes! Adult t-shirts can be ordered on the pledge form or purchased at the carnival for $10 each.
What about prizes?
The student (middle and elementary) who raises the highest amount of money gets a gift certificate to purchase a pair of sneakers ($100 value).
Top finishers in each race get swag bags.
A random student who submits the pledges will win a swag bag.
The class with the highest participation will get donuts and juice.
The class that raises the most money will get a pizza party.
What if a student doesn’t want to run?
Students can choose to not participate and instead make cards for veterans.
Students who choose not to run/walk will have the option of attending the carnival. They will receive 1 ticket for the carnival.
What will be at the carnival?

Playground

Graffiti box that can be a permanent art display

This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, so what better way to celebrate this historic event than to learn more about the moon with augmented reality? AstroReality is an app that uses augmented reality (scanning an object and providing feedback based on that object) to provide clickable links of images, historical and other data. You can get the whole solar system, but the 3D objects are expensive and the moon poster can be printed for FREE and even works if you scan it from a screen (don’t necessarily need to print). A tablet would be best because of the larger screen to see the information, but even a phone would work.
CSEdWeek, or Computer Science Education Week, is an initiative to create awareness of the importance of programming in today’s world, provide opportunities for everyone to learn, and inspire the next generation of students.
Why? Because in the 21st century, programming is everywhere, and every child will benefit from learning the basics, even if their interests lie elsewhere and they have no intention of making it their career.
