One of our school themes is “Fly Like a Falcon”. Falcons SOAR above, capturing an aerial view of what is going on below. We are encouraging our school community to “SOAR above” things that might bring us down, not allowing us to be our best selves and to be mindful of those around us who might need our help and support. We are on a school-wide crusade to “Fly Like a Falcon”, lifting one another up, celebrating the positive interactions, and kind behavior that our students and staff demonstrate each and every day. This week, we recognize Fran Blake, 8th grade. This week Fran attended a service trip with his fellow 8th grade classmates. Fran was extremely impressive in the way he interacted with the teachers and students in the Adult Transition Program in District 218. Fran’s kind nature and positive attitude was noticed by several of the teachers who work with young adults with special needs. Thank you for being a leader and setting a good example for your peers. You represented St. John Fisher and your family well and we are so proud of you! Your maturity, compassion and kindness are so appreciated. You are making a difference! Keep “Flying Like a Falcon” Fran!
