Later, we cheered on our former Falcons as they took their final walk through our halls during their Top 10% Senior Walk 👏🏽 And to top it all off, our 6th graders had the incredible opportunity to learn more about Mr. Fossum during a special presentation. A day full of pride, inspiration, and Falcon spirit! ❤️🖤

Our 6th grade Falcons showed out on the track! 💪🏽 From hurdles to relays, this group brought the energy, hustle, and heart. The future of Fossum Athletics is looking bright! 🦅🔥
