FKS Community,

This week saw a large focus on developing relationships and interpersonal skills during instrucitonal and non-instructional time. This was made possible by the flexibility of our teachers in getting our 'Buddy Program' going which sees classes in each school assigned a buddy class in the other school. Some of the classes already came together for a fun learning activity and the week ended with our culinating budy lunch where all Flocktownstudents went down to Kossmann to eat lunch with their buddies. It was amazing to see the kindness, conversations and shared experiences and we look forward to more of these opportunities as the year progresses.

Have a safe (and warm) weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Marangon and Mr. John Winsted

FKS Principal & Asst. Principal
