🎶 Employee of the Month Spotlight 🎶

Please help us celebrate Calee Fessler, our Classified Employee of the Month and talented Music Teacher at Pillar Falls Elementary! 🌟
Calee finds inspiration in the people in her life who lead with their hearts, like her sisters, parents, grandparents, and mentors, and she brings that same passion into her classroom each day. She chose teaching to make a difference and share her love of music with students. Outside of school, she enjoys sewing, reading, and even once had the unforgettable opportunity to sing in the Notre-Dame Cathedral 🎤⛪

From the Principal:
“Calee is an amazing asset to our building. She is a true team player who consistently goes above and beyond for both students and staff. Her passion, flexibility, and willingness to step in wherever needed make a meaningful impact on our school, and we are so fortunate to have her as part of our team.”

👏 Thank you, Calee, for everything you do!

These four cuties want to remind everyone—don’t let the sunshine fool you! 🌤️ While afternoons may feel a bit like spring, our playground mornings are still chilly. ❄️🧤 Please be sure to bundle up and label all jackets, hats, and gloves to help keep items out of the Lost & Found. Thanks so much for your help—we appreciate it!

Christmas Break

For the past two weeks, our Pillar Falls students have been collecting food and hygiene items to donate to local charities and food pantries! This year, we focused on creating MEALS for families that were ready to go, and yummy to eat together. Overall, we collected over 210 complete meals and hundreds of other individual hygiene and food items! Way to go helping others and giving of yourselves Pillar Falls Falcons!

Join us for the next two weeks in our effort to help stock the TFSD food pantries. We'll be collecting donations of non-perishable food (and hygiene items) to create meals that can be boxed and delivered to families in need. Reach out to your child's teacher to find out what type of meal they're hoping to create. Or, send in any donations and we'll get them to the right place. Thanks for your help!
