❄️ Winter Break Pause ❄️

As our students and staff enjoy a well-earned winter break, Farmington R-7 social media accounts will be taking a short pause, too.

We’ll be back after the break with more stories, celebrations, and updates from around the district. Until then, we wish our Knights and their families a safe, restful, and joyful winter break.
