’Twas the Night Before Mary Phalen Leadership Academy… ❤️🦅

Tonight feels a little different.

The classrooms are ready.
The pencils are sharpened.
The backpacks are packed.
And somewhere tonight, our Founding Falcons are getting ready for their very first day. ❤️

For months, we have planned, prepared, worked, worried, and dreamed, for this moment.

And tomorrow…it becomes real.

Tomorrow, little feet will walk through our doors for the very first time as Mary Phalen Leadership Academy scholars.

There will be nervous butterflies, excited smiles, new friendships, lots of learning—and probably a few tears from some very proud grown-ups. ❤️

To our families: Thank you for trusting us with your children and believing in our school from the very beginning.

To our staff: Thank you for pouring your hearts into making this dream a reality.

And to our scholars:

Get some rest, Founding Falcons. Tomorrow is YOUR day.

Someday, we will look back at pictures from this first morning and say, “That’s where it all began.”

Tomorrow, we open our doors.
Tomorrow, we make memories.
Tomorrow, we make history.

❤️ Be Respectful.
🖤 Be Responsible.
🩶 Be Safe.
📚 Be Ready to Learn.

Goodnight, Founding Falcons. We’ll see you in the morning. 🦅

Together, We Soar.
