We are “Biking to Success” at Fallstaff!Students who reduced their absences and stayed below the chronic absence threshold were entered into a raffle to win a brand new bike! Coming to school every day deserves to be celebrated and we can’t wait to do it again! #falconsflyhigh🦅

Baltimore students are the best. A bunch of them asked to take photos with me when they found out I was at the school. 💙🎉

“It makes me feel good to see people who are doing something they love to do and enjoying the work of it. Isn’t it wonderful to think that each one of us has a different talent, something that we can use to help us and somebody else?”
