A Message from Our Principal

Dear Falcon Families, Parents, and Guardians,

Good month of March to all!

What an exciting way to kick of March with our Missoula Children’s Theater (MCT) performances on Friday and Saturday. Our students worked hard to put together this performance of Robin Hood in just four days of rehearsals. Well done to all our actors and thank you to MCT for their time in putting all of this together. Nice work by all!

March is also a focus on reading for the month, starting off with a spirit week and a Drop Everything and Read focus for March 4 through March 8. We will have additional activities to help us all focus on not only the importance of reading, but the enjoyment it provides. Thank you for encouraging your student this month to join in as we celebrate Dr. Suess’s birthday and the joy of reading.

March also brings parent conferences the first week, Spring Break the second week of March, and then our final sprint to the finish! I love the ebb and flow of the school year, and this can be the most exciting part of the year as students finish strong and begin to look forward towards the next step in their academic careers.

What an amazing and supportive community of parents, staff and scholars we have here at Fine Arts Academy. Thank you for your partnership and teamwork in making Fine Arts Academy a great place to learn and work. Next month we will be focusing on our volunteers and celebrating our collaborative efforts in working for what’s best for our kids. Have a wonderful March, and “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back, and may the sun shine warm upon your face! Sláinte!

Respectfully,

Robert Manahan
