FIRELANDS:

• Varsity Football Games: Tonight is the big home football game, and FHS students get in completely free, so there is no excuse to miss out on the action! Let’s pack the student stands with a patriotic USA theme and turn our student section into a sea of school spirit. Just remember to steer clear of the visiting side, because that territory is strictly off-limits. Make sure you’re ready to stay for the whole ride, because once you walk out those gates, there are absolutely no re-entries allowed. When you grab your concession, hit the restrooms, or gear up at the team shop, make a direct beeline right back to your seat so we can keep the walkways clear. Let’s bring the enery, keep it safe, and show everyone how Falcons celebrate a Friday night victory. See you at kickoff, Ffalcons!
• Policy Reminders: Just a couple of quick reminders to keep our school safe & clutter-free! Hats & hoods need to stay off while you are inside the building—we love seeing those smiling faces. Don't forget that your bookbags, cell phones, & other devices need to be inside your locker from morning bell to dismissal. Your locker is the perfect home for your gear, but remember, items never belong on top of them. Any lonely items left hanging out of the lockers is fair game to be cleared away. Let's keep working together to keep our hallways looking sharp and our classrooms completely distraction-free!
• Picture Day: Picture Day will be September 9^th.
