Farley Elementary purchased new books for classrooms with the donation from the Peosta Optimist Club. These books are of varying interests and levels which allows students to enjoy these books independently. Thank you for your generosity.




Be sure to tune in to hear our 5th grade students sing holiday favorites on the radio. Students have been practicing the songs during music and are excited to hear them air on the radio.
