The Art club was started in 2015 by Lindi O'Brien to give our young artists a safe place to work after or before school.  Over the course of the years, our program has evolved to fit into the niches where supervision is needed for students interested in art.  There are opportunities to work after school, weekends, or in coordination with other school programs like sports, FFA, drama, and class projects.  The Fromberg Falcon Art Club provides community service in a variety of ways working with local businesses and state and national entities to provide artwork focused on conservation, safety, and community awareness needs.  Lisa Yedlicka helped us start the Strut Your Stuff Art Show and Bazaar in 2017, establishing our biggest fundraiser.  This offers an opportunity for area artists and vendors to showcase their products and provide the community with an amazing shopping opportunity.  All proceeds collected are used by students for media and educational trips.  In the past they  experienced exhibits showing original works by Monet, and a theatrical production of Phantom of the Opera, and an immersion into the craft of Pixar's computer animation via Denver Science Museum. Kandace Pete provided a final key piece to the success of the Art Club, acting as a chauffeur/chaperone and offering her artistic talents and fundraising skill to boost our club.  

Forensics (Speech and Debate) is offered for boys and girls at the high school level.  Practices typically start towards the end of October and last through the end of January.  Students select an event from a wide range of speech, debate, and drama options and work on their piece for the duration of the season.  Students present their piece at weekend meets leading up to the divisional meet.  In order to qualify for state, students must place in the top eight of their event at the divisional meet.  In order to letter in forensics, students must compete at the state meet. 

The music program allows students to learn rhythm, beat, vocal skills, and instrumental abilities. It is offered for all students from kinder-one to seniors. While learning these skills, the students will present them to the public at the Christmas Concert and at the Spring concert. The 7-12 graders will also have the opportunity to compete as a band, a soloist, and/or a small group during different events throughout the year. At these events they will be graded on their musical ability and given tips on how to improve.Please see the events calendar HERE  for all conert dates or upcoming performances.

Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division (Division B is middle school; Division C is high school). Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation. 

Cross Country is offered for boys and girls at both the junior high and high school levels.  Practices typically start before the first day of school and the season ends at the end of October.  The high school division runs 3.2 miles (a 5K), and the junior high runs anywhere from 1.5-2 miles, depending on the course.  In order to qualify for the state meet, high school athletes must run in at least two meets during the season as well as meet the state qualifying time.  In order to letter in cross country, high school athletes must run at the state meet. 

The Junior High Volleyball team had a great season this year. We had 10 girls joining us for the season.
The girls stepped it up this year and worked hard at learning the techniques that make a great Volleyball
player. The 7 th graders had to step up and be the leaders because the 8 th graders all played on the high
school team. Although we missed the 8 th graders, it was a great opportunity for the younger ones to
learn to lead the team. I know every coach thinks they have a good team, but I believe we had a great
team. Like all teams, we had our rough days, but the girls always made us proud of their hard work and
determination. They always showed up on game day ready to play, ready to work together as a team,
and ready to win (or at least go down fighting). We gave everyone a run for their money. There is not
one team out there that can say we were easy to beat, if the other team was successful in beating us,
they had to work for it.

As coaches, we focus on the fundamentals of volleyball. We believe the junior high years are very
important to make successful high school players. We focus on good habits and try to always teach
good techniques. Our motto is it takes 10 seconds to develop a bad habit and months to correct it.
Although winning is always the goal, learning to be better players is the thing we focus on the most.
The girls did not win all their games this year, but we saw a great improvement in the older girls setting
up the ball and getting spikes and the younger kids learning good passing and good serving. The
younger girls also learned how to set the ball up and get some hits by the end of the season.

Remember students and parents: we need everyone to make a team. Please encourage your kids to
give sports a try. Sure, not everyone will be a college or professional athlete, but sports teach students
so much more. It teaches them to be a team player, how to work with others, how to improve on skills,
and how to focus on the future no matter how the last play went. Many memories are made on the
court, on the bus rides, and in the stands. It doesn't matter if they are on the court or supporting the
others on the court, the kids learn that hard work pays off and working together with others and helping
lift others up instead of dragging them down makes for a successful player.
