We're just over a month into the new school year, and we're beyond thrilled to see how our students have taken initiative in forming clubs! One of our awesome fourth graders started the Habits Club, where during recess, students meet up and do a deeper dive into the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. 🙂 Talk about being proactive! 🙌
These are lifelong skills that students will take with them into adulthood. Way to be leaders! 👏

💡Did you know that music not only gets our creative juices flowing, but it also helps build math skills? 🧮
🎼From recognizing note patterns to counting the beat, music is very mathematical. Ms. Allison is our amazing Music & Drama teacher, and she's been working with students on building the basics of music - from learning about musical notes, how rhythm works, and more! 🥁🪇🎹🎤

Don't forget it's a three-day weekend! Enjoy the Labor Day holiday with your friends and family, and we'll see you back in the classroom on Tuesday morning :)
What's a WOW team, you ask? Each trimester, students submit applications to be on one of nine WOW teams that are led by our teachers. From Dirt Lovers 🪴 and Learning to Be a Leader to Falcon Flyer 📰 and EMT (Equipment Maintenance Technicians), these teams are opportunities for students to work together and build core leadership skills. We're so excited to kick these off tomorrow! 🥳
STEAM it up! Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math help students build their critical thinking skills, learn how to collaborate with others, and nurture creativity. Every week we have STEAM class for TK through 5th grades, and students learn how research, design, and experimentation work through hands-on projects!
Something that makes our school so special is the fact that everyone knows everyone. We make a point of getting to know every family that walks in, not just your child, but parents, grandparents, siblings.
And it all starts with Ms. Tammy, who you'll see first thing at drop-off, all the way to our amazing After School Director, Ms. Diane. You may know them as some of the Friendliest Faces at the front of Folsom Prep (we love alliteration)! 😊
Ms. Tammy and Ms. Diane are truly the BEST and we love them! 💙💛
