Flint Hill Updates

Good Afternoon Flint Hill Families,

On Wednesday afternoon, former Falcons from JMHS returned to Flint Hill for their Senior walk through the halls of the elementary school. Students and staff lined the hallways to cheer on the soon-to-be graduates.

After the walk, FHES students and staff gathered in the gym for a pep rally in preparation of tonight PTA basketball game. Students learned cheers and celebrated together with the staff basketball team and spirit squad. We hope you will join us tonight at JMHS for the big game! Doors open for admission at 5:30 pm and the game begins at 6:00 pm.

Next week, band students will perform their end-of-year assembly and concert for students and families. We hope to see you at the evening concert at 7:00 pm. The students are eager and excited to show off all their hard work at practice!

Please remember that June 12th is the last day of school for students. This day will be a 2-hour early release and students will be dismissed at 1:30 pm.

Next week, will be a busy week of learning celebrations, final class activities and an exciting field day. Let's finish the 23-24 school year with enthusiasm and joy for learning!

Kindly,

Mr. Montaquila, Principal

Mr. Baker, Assistant Principal
