Our 5th graders made a huge splash at the aquarium today! 💙 From sharks to stingrays, our Falcons loved every minute of exploring the ocean life.

🌊 Non-stop learning, smiles, and undersea adventures!

👏 A massive thank you to our amazing parent chaperones for making today safe and fun.

Our Falcons know how to dive right into learning! 🦅💙

What a wild day at Farr West Elementary! 💙 Watching our amazing teachers take on the obstacle course in giant inflatables was pure hilarity!
👏 Huge shoutout to our FWE PTA & Admin team for organizing the ultimate reward.

💙 Thank you to every family and community member who donated to our school fundraiser!

Sometimes the sweetest part of the school day is the simplest moment. ❤️

This week at lunch, our 1st graders turned fruit into phones and brought pure joy to the cafeteria! 🍌✨

Small notes, big impact! 💙✨ Our 2nd Grade Cooperation Crew spent time writing uplifting messages for their fellow Falcons to find on their walk to school. 🚶‍♂️📚

A quick look back at some favorite moments from the past few weeks! 📸✨ Our Falcons have been busy soaring! 💙

Here’s a snapshot of the fun:
• 🏃‍♂️ Our kindergarteners bringing huge energy to the Fun Run
• 🎟️ Mrs. Anderson and students enjoying the Fall Carnival
• 📚 Falcons cozying up with great books for the Statewide Read-a-Thon

Our students, teachers, and parents make Farr West the best place to be! 🦅⚡

Nothing brings our school community together quite like a good story. 💙✨ Last week, our students enjoyed a wonderful assembly featuring guest readers from WSD.

It was especially heartwarming to:
• 📚 Share a love of reading with district leaders
• 👋 Welcome back two familiar faces—Mr. Swalberg and Mr. Hales!

More fun from our Fun Run!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our fundraiser and helped host our Fun Run. It was a great success!
