Team building with a view! A few Farr West teachers took a meaningful hike together to see "The Major." Beyond the stunning sight of the giant flag, the best part was sharing personal stories about the veterans who inspire us.
We loved seeing Falcons students (both current and former!) also on the trail. Our faculty is simply the best, and we love connecting outside the classroom!

It's been a WILD ride in second grade this week! 🤖🎃 Our fantastic Falcons soared through a super fun Wild Robot party celebrating their amazing read, and then landed right in the middle of a spooktacular Halloween!
A huge thank you to Discovery Gateway Children's Museum for bringing the fun of science right to our campus! 🙏 Our kindergarten students were captivated as they explored the concepts of push and pull. It's wonderful to see our Falcons engaging with these foundational science lessons. We're so grateful for the faculty, students, and community partners who make learning like this possible!
Building a love for science, one experiment at a time.
Thank you for partnering with us!

Behind every successful experiment is a curious mind! Our 5th graders are learning the art of experimental design and diving into the scientific method with full force. They are not just following steps; they are learning to ask questions and find their own answers. #FarrWestFalcons #5thGradeScience #FutureScientists
🧑🔬 Our 5th graders recently dove deep into Experimental Design, and it was EPIC!
Behind every clean classroom and tidy hallway at Farr West Elementary is our dedicated custodial team. They work tirelessly to create a welcoming and healthy environment for our students, faculty, and families. This October 2nd, please join us in celebrating our Falcons' behind-the-scenes heroes. Their hard work doesn't go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for all they do.

We love when our amazing community partners bring learning to our school! The 5th graders at Farr West Elementary were captivated by a fun and interactive science class from Discovery Gateway. They learned all about chemical reactions and states of matter through hands-on experiments. We're so grateful for these incredible educational opportunities. 💙 #FarrWestFalcons #DiscoveryGateway
