❄️ 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.

Last week's Black Knight Insight visit was powered by student voice. Participants spent the day learning directly from students as they showcased their programs and explained what learning looks like at Farmington High School.

From dissecting sheep hearts in BioMed and making wreaths in Floral Design, to hearing from ROTC, Ag, Banking, BKTV, Special Olympics, and Wise Knights Café students, every stop highlighted hands-on, real-world learning. Participants even helped record announcements in the BKTV studio. The day wrapped up with Incubator students pitching business ideas and learning how Transition students gain real-world work experience.

When students lead, their learning speaks for itself. 💛🖤
