When educators come together, students soar! 🦊💫 Celebrating the collaboration between our SPED and general education teams as they create inclusive, welcoming classrooms for every learner.

Screens can be great tools for learning, but nothing replaces the value of real conversations, shared meals, and time spent together. Let’s remember that the best lessons often happen off-screen—in moments of connection, play, and curiosity. #WellnessWednesday #HealthyEtiwandaKids

Falcon Ridge showed up strong at the E3 Fun Run! 🏃‍♀️💙 A morning full of energy and school spirit — way to represent, Foxes! 🦊
