Our sidewalks got a Fratt makeover yesterday! 🎨☀️ For Art Day, our Falcons took their creativity outside and transformed the sidewalks with colorful chalk masterpieces! From silly drawings and games to bright designs and sweet messages, the playground was FULL of imagination and happy smiles. 🌈🖍️ Who knew sidewalks could look this fancy? 😎✨

4K Mrs. Woods’ class had the best time with this one! 🪁✨ After reading Kite Day by Will Hillenbrand, our students learned a fun new word… “constructed!” So of course, we had to try it ourselves! Our students constructed their own kites using plastic grocery bags and yarn, and then took them outside to fly during recess 🎨💨 Safe to say… it was ALL smiles, lots of laughs, and pure joy in the air 💛😊

🎨✨ Our Fratt Falcons are shining beyond our school walls! ✨🎨 We are so proud to share that several of our talented students are featured in the Racine Unified Student Art Exhibition at the Wustum Museum of Fine Arts from May 6–23!

Looking for Mr. Goggins in his office?
Yeah… good luck with that 😄

Check the hallways ✔️
The lunchroom ✔️
Classrooms ✔️
Any event, celebration, or anything involving our students ✔️✔️✔️

That’s where you’ll find him, high-fiving, joking around, and bringing just the right amount of good chaos to keep things fun while building real connections with our kids every single day 🙌

And when he is in the office? He’s coming up with new plans and ideas to encourage our students to learn, grow, and make the best choices 💡

Our students are lucky to have a principal who shows up where it matters most, right alongside them.

Thanks for all you do, Mr. Goggins! 💙
