All we can say is WOW! It was great to have Technical Sergeant Hall and Lieutenant Colonel Knight speak to many students about the Air Force and Space Force at Fox River Middle School yesterday. The students had great questions for them and there was some free swag.

Thank you to all who came to the WinterFest event last week. The Waterford Recreation Department hosted a great event and it was nice to see so many community members.

Our Fox River Falcons participated in the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Honors Band Weekend from November 18-20. The festival offers selected students from the midwest who were nominated by their band directors to participate in a weekend-long opportunity to rehearse and work with regionally and nationally recognized band conductors and music educators. In addition, they collaborated with UWM performance staff in sectionals and master classes and attended concerts presented by the university ensembles.
