9th Grade Night at FALA
Hello FALA Colleagues,
A huge thank you to everyone who assisted with last night’s dinner for our Rising Juniors and Seniors! I was really happy with 1) the turnout and energy, 2) watching our current seniors shine when talking about how FALA has impacted their lives, and 3) I was impressed by our teachers and staff who spoke sincerely about why they choose to invest their talents at FALA!
We are recreating this event for rising 9th graders and the advertising is below and attached. Of course, it is not limited to current FALA 8th graders so assistance with advertising this event on social would be greatly appreciated.
I also wanted to share this lovely message we received today about a parents’ hope for their child’s future at FALA. It truly reinforces for me the importance of FALA’s place in our community:
We are writing you today to express our desire to enroll our gift into the 2023-24 school year at Flagstaff Arts & Leadership Academy.
Like many parents do, we have put a lot of heart and soul into finding the perfect academic fit for the love of our lives, into helping her right now for our shared future.
With much attention we have determined, with even more confidence, that FALA is the right place for what she needs to give her the momentum and skills to change the world for the better.
We believe that our beautiful daughter will excel to an amazing depth within the environment that you’ve very lovingly fostered with FALA. Socially, academically and artistically.
She is talented beyond our expectations, musically, in the visual arts and with the written word. She desperately needs an environment that can help us to grow that. She has been unable to thrive in the more traditional settings and we believe that she will expand exponentially with the growth potential that only FALA can offer her.
She will be starting 6th grade next year and we feel like this is the perfect timing to help her establish a home with you for the next 7 years.
We understand that this is past the deadline for submission but dearly hope that we could possibly meet with you to introduce her to the potential and dynamics you are offering.
With extreme gratitude we thank you,
Dear FALA Families,
The end of the year can be bittersweet. We will witness the closing of one chapter, middle school, at the 8th-grade graduation on May 24th. But we also celebrate new beginnings, the official entrance into high school.
Please join us on Monday, May 15th to explore the advantages of the FALA High School experience. On hand will be our academic counselors to discuss course offerings and requirements. You will also hear from teachers about why they choose to teach at FALA and the advantages of the FALA high school experience.
Finally, you will hear from Student Services about the individualized student support they provide.
Details:
Date: Monday, May 15th
Time: 5:30 – 6:30

See you soon!
Regards,
Kara Kelty
