We are so proud to celebrate February's Flaherty's Finest, who were recognized for showing integrity! 🌟 These students consistently choose to do the right thing—even when no one is watching—by being honest, responsible, and respectful in their actions. Their character sets a wonderful example for others and helps make our school community stronger every day. Way to go!

Our 6th grade students had an exciting visit to Stuart Pepper Middle School as they prepare for their transition to middle school next year! They toured the building, learned about classes and activities, and got a glimpse of what life will be like as middle school students. Thank you to the staff and students for making our students feel so welcome and helping ease the transition!

Our students have been hard at work and having fun while learning! They wowed us with their Readers Theater performances, shared thoughtful presentations from their literature circles, and practiced math facts by playing trash! In math, students measured their broad jumps and used the class data to create a line plot—what a great real-world connection! We also loved seeing their creativity shine through beautiful watercolor paintings. We are so proud of their effort and enthusiasm!

Learning is in full swing at Flaherty Elementary!

Our students have been hard at work and having fun along the way! From playing interactive games to review for an upcoming math test, to creating beautiful Valentine’s art, they are showing that learning can be both meaningful and exciting.

We’ve also seen teamwork and sportsmanship on the basketball court, thoughtful discussions during book clubs, and impressive focus as students used rubrics to evaluate and strengthen their writing.

We are so proud of the effort, creativity, and growth happening every single day. Way to go, Blue Devils! 💙✨

This Valentine’s season, our teachers took a moment to share what they love most about Flaherty Elementary- and their words say it best.

They love the laughter in the hallways.
They love the excitement when students discover something new.
They love the way our staff supports one another.
They love the kindness, the growth, the resilience, and the heart that fills our building every single day.

Flaherty isn’t just a school- it’s a family. And it’s clear that love truly lives here. 💙

Take a moment to read these heartfelt messages from the people who make our school so special.
