We, the students and faculty, at North Richland Middle
School are focusing the 2016-2017 school
year on building the culture and climate in our school community. A committee of students, parents and staff
met this past spring and during the summer to create the foundation of the
Falcon Way. The Falcon Way Mission supports
students, faculty, staff and community members in living “The Falcon Way”
by: providing the tools and skills to
incorporate the BISD CORE values into all of our work and creating
opportunities for our Falcons to soar.
Each Monday, students meet with their Falcon Way advisory
group. Every six weeks, both students and teachers, focus on building courage, kindness, responsibility, empathy,
honesty and acceptance. Throughout the
six weeks, students brainstorm ideas on how, we as North Richland Middle Falcons,
can create events within our school community to instill these core
values.
During this six weeks our Falcon Way advisory group, Courage
House, came together and focused on building community within our own
school. By brainstorming ideas, students
came up with the idea to celebrate our faculty and staff. Once we decided on how we would build
community, students began to plan a #ThankfulThursday celebration for our
staff!
Classes voted on which tasks they wanted to complete. These tasks included: creating invitations, advertising our
breakfast, creating videos celebrating our community of learners, decorating
our building with a Tree of Thanksgiving and serving as hosts and hostesses for
our celebration.

Watching our students, faculty & staff
come together as one community was an incredible experience for all of the NRMS
community.

As a culminating Thank You to our teachers, students worked during Falcon Way time, as well as before and after school, working on a video to show what community means at NRMS. Students took pictures & videos of the happenings within our building, as well as creating a Google form to gather thoughts from others within our school community.
