We hope our families are having a great summer break. At Finchy, our teachers and administrators are always striving to learn the best ways to work with our falcons. They were all perfect students at this five day conference they attended.

At Katherine Finchy, being the best that we can be is always our number one priority.

We can’t wait to see our families in three more weeks. Enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to seeing our new and returning Falcons! 🤗

When the kids are away, your admin will play! 😂 Our admins finished a three day conference today, along side all of the other wonderful PSUSD admin. They had fun, while learning a lot.

Today each team dressed up in a theme. Their team were teenagers. They nailed it! 😂

In this picture we have Mr. Hammond, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Santos (VDM) and Mr. Stellw (Cahuilla).

We hope all of our Falcons have enjoyed their first week of vacation. Be safe, happy and kind! 😊

Today was our 5th grade promotion dance for our Falcons. One last hoorah before moving on middle school.

We always want them to know that we are proud of them and even though they are moving on, they will always be a Falcon and they will always matter to us.

They get a DJ, goody bags and a light up foam stick. Super simple, but fun. They had the best time and we just love seeing those happy faces running around dancing and carefree. 💃🏼🕺🏻☺️

Tomorrow is early dismissal at 12:10 and NO Think Together Friday. 😋
