Veterans Day at Flocktown.
On Monday, we were honored to host our local veterans from Post 1776 to recognize Veterans Day. Our veterans raised the flag with students during ceremonies at each building.

Last week, Mrs. Sokol, Mrs. Antonov, and Mrs. Condron coordinated Mix It Up FKS Day at Kossmann and Flocktown. Mix It Up Day has students sit with those they typically do not sit with at lunch. Students have questions to ask of those at their table to discover their interests and to see what they may have in common others. Mix It Up Day is an important activity for building community and connection. Thank you Mrs. Sokol, Mrs. Antonov, Mrs. Condron, our lunch supervisors, and classroom teachers for making Mix It Up Day a success!
