Dear Great Falls Families,
As we turn the calendar to June on Monday, it is hard to believe that another incredible school year is coming to a close. This month is filled with excitement, celebrations, traditions, and opportunities to reflect on all that our students have accomplished throughout the year.
From academic growth and new friendships to performances, field trips, and countless moments of kindness, courage, respect, responsibility, honesty, and compassion, our students have so much to be proud of. We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families and the support you provide each day to help make Great Falls such a special place to learn and grow.
As we finish the year together, please take note of the following important dates:
June 1 – Grade 3 Field Day at USM

This time of year is always bittersweet. We celebrate the accomplishments of our students while also preparing for transitions and new adventures ahead. We are especially excited to honor our kindergarten students as they complete their first year of elementary school and our fifth graders as they prepare for the next chapter of their educational journey.
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the school year. We look forward to making these final weeks memorable for every child.
Wishing you a wonderful June!
Warmly,
Becky Fortier
Principal, Great Falls Elementary School
