Farley Elementary School

Thank you to all of our paraprofessionals today and every day they serve at Farley Elementary! We are incredibly appreciative of all they do!

The Western Dubuque Lions Club and West Dubuque FFA are teaming up to support the Bobcat Den at WDHS, helping provide food for students and families in need.

Join us on April 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Silkers as we collect non perishable food items.

Most needed items include canned vegetables, beans and soup, rice, pasta, cereal, peanut butter, snacks, microwaveable meals, and cash donations.

When we come together, we take care of our own.

We had a great turn out for the PTO bunny hop. Kids walked the hallways collecting tickets and then prizes were drawn. Thanks to the PTO, the many sponsors and all our families who came out to support the event.

Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, March 25th, we will celebrate our March birthdays. Birthday breakfast is from 7:45-8:05 a.m.

We had our own March Madness fun this week for filling our school wide puff jar. Each class competed in the dodgeball tournament. Students earn positive puffs for following the Bobcat Way of doing their best, being leaders along with showing safe and kind behavior.

Today the Dubuque Arts Council brought a performance by OPERA Iowa to Farley Elementary! The students enjoyed the performance of The Billy Goats Gruff.

We still have several items in our lost and found! Does any of it look familiar? Please have your student stop by the table in the gym to claim!

Happy Birthday to our February birthdays! Thanks for joining us for our birthday breakfast!

During Bobcat families this month, we participated in our own Olympic Games! Students had fun working together in teams to compete in the games.

We had a great day bowling at Cobra Lanes in Farley! Kids enjoyed the opportunity to put their bowling skills they learned in P.E. to practice in a real bowling alley! Thank you to FES PTO for supporting this event!

*Reminder*
Tomorrow all K-5 students will be walking to Cobra Lanes in Farley during their P.E. class. They will bowl for one hour and return back to school.

Thank you FES PTO for making this day possible!

Students have been practicing some of the Winter Olympic Games during P.E. Can you guess which sports they tried?

To finish up School Counselor Week, we recognize Mrs. Smith, our school mental health counselor. Mrs. Smith serves Farley elementary and several other buildings in the Western Dubuque district. She is a tremendous support for both students and staff. Thank you, Mrs. Smith!

It is National School Counseling Week! Thank you to Mrs. Boffeli for the work you do at Farley Elementary. You make a difference through the supports you provide students across the building. Thank you for all you do!
