Thank you!
Mrs. LaVigne’s preschoolers are so excited to receive these awesome literacy and math games from the Falls education foundation! It was Christmas morning opening up these games and playing them! Thank you so much for your generosity!
"Ms. Morrison’s Kindergarten class would like to thank the Falls Education Foundation for adding to our classroom library. We are loving all of the books on growth mindset. This is the third year that I have asked for literature on growth mindset for our classroom library. We are so excited to keep expanding our library with books on this important topic. We have been working on ways we can have a growth mindset, make our brain stronger, and face challenges. The books will definitely be used and loved many, many times! Thank you again for your dedication to educators and students.

Thank you to the Falls Education Foundation for these awesome CanDo seats for our classroom! The students were so excited when they arrived! Definitely felt like Christmas!
Mrs. Auran’s class says, “It feels like Christmas, thanks to the Falls Education Foundation for all the goodies!”
You probably can't see the smiles behind Mrs.Wood's Third Graders' masks, but they are there! We would like to give a huge thank you to the Falls Education Foundation- we just love our cozy new forest cushions and all the amazing new story books! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts-we love you!
Mrs. West says: Thank you so much for your generous donation! I am so very grateful that every 6th grade student was able to receive an Ojibwe Bandolier bag to design and decorate. Our Minnesota studies include lessons about Ojibwe culture and traditions and the bags provided an opportunity to enhance their learning and engagement! This year, it has been more of a challenge to bring creativity and art into the classroom, so thank you for this opportunity! I was also able to purchase supplemental materials to help with digital grammar and writing lessons. The 6th graders are learning a lot about writing and thanks to these materials, it is more interesting and meaningful for them. We recently entered the Elks Essay Contest with essays on ways to demonstrate patriotism. We are currently working on persuasive essays which creates interesting discussion in the classroom and on Zoom! The students are excited about their writing and my hope is that this lifelong skill will continue to evolve and develop. Thank you for supporting this effort!
Thank you all so much for the time and effort you have invested in making ISD #361 a better place for students. The students are looking forward to reading all of these new books. We have such a generous community!

We have had such a crazy, busy year! But we can't thank you enough for your kindness! I purchased many books for our Non-Fiction section for our older youth. Many are the" Who Was" and "Who is" collection. New Books always are so exciting to our younger youth! Thank You again for your donation towards the FES Library. Angel Boe

Thank you!
Formal thank you notes are on their way, but I couldn’t wait another second as we received our cushions yesterday funded by The Falls Education Foundation! I am unable to have upholstery or carpeting in my classroom so my students have been sitting on the hard tiles during whole group time. They have been such troopers, but boy were they excited to have something soft to sit on today!!! Being comfortable will definitely help them focus longer. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping!!!
Sincerely, Mrs. Pavleck and her second grade class |
The 6th Graders have enjoyed learning about Dakota and Ojibwa history, culture and art, in their study of Minnesota history. Thank you to the Falls Education Foundation for the grant which provided materials for these projects which makes learning fun and engaging! Lisa West

Dear Members of The Falls Education Foundation,
Thanks so much for funding my request of model magic this year. My second grade students made loon sculptures to go along with our study of the Common Loon. I have attached a few pictures of our project. We appreciate your continued support for funding this and so many projects/supplies in our school. Jill Katrin
