Special congratulations go out this week to Falkville Elementary School for being a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The faculty and staff at Falkville Elementary School are so proud to have achieved this honor. Every child deserves an award-winning education, and they are getting one at Falkville Elementary School! 

Congratulations also go to Mr. Tucker’s Falkville fourth-grade class for winning the Sock Drive Contest during Read Across America Week. Mr. Tucker’s class donated 465 pairs of socks. His students enjoyed a popcorn and soda party with Mrs. Scott in the library.  

Mr. Tucker’s students are currently watching eggs in a incubator, and the eggs are starting to hatch. The fourth-grade students are enjoying this learning experience.
