Thanks for being a great partner Principal Behnke!

❤️ 🖤 Celebrating Principal Beth Behnke!

During National Principals’ Month, we’re shining a spotlight on the people who make a difference in our schools!

Beth is in her 13th year as principal of Falcon Heights Elementary School. Her favorite part of the job? “It’s the people—watching students grow, supporting amazing staff, and celebrating the small moments that make a big difference in children’s lives every day.”

Something you might not know about Beth? She shares her birthday (the day after Christmas!) with her brother, who is one year younger. 🎂

If she weren’t a principal, what would she be? A Disney Guest Experience Manager! 🏰 ✨

Thank you, Beth, for making Falcon Heights Elementary a place where students can learn and grow! 🎉

Join FFEJ this Thursday for an Open Gym and STEM night.

Join us for a two-part experience designed for kids and families to explore, play, and create:
In one gym, students can enjoy open gym time with space to run around, play games, and connect with friends.
In the other gym, students can dive into space-themed STEM activities, where they will explore hands-on projects inspired by astronaut training, stars, rockets, and beyond.
This is a great opportunity for students to move their bodies, spark curiosity, and have fun with their school community.

Made possible by the Falcon Heights PTA In conjunction with a Tree Trust grant, this growing forest is a place for students to learn and relax. As the trees mature, it will become an even more magical space for everyone at Falcon!
