The word of the week is solitude, meaning the state or situation of being alone. Some people like being in solitude, while others hate it. What does solitude mean to you?

Hey Falcons!! Welcome back. The Word of the Week is Brabble, meaning to argue stubbornly about trifles. Here’s your sign to brabble with Mr. Gibbens about Mrs. Bennet’s personality in Pride and Prejudice.

WoW: eloquence • ability to beautifully express oneself.

The Word of the Week is a fitting one: chief. To be a chief is to be a leader of a group of people or clan. No wonder the chiefs won the Super Bowl!!! Happy short week, Falcons 💛❤️

Welcome back, Falcons! We might actually be having a full week this week. As Mr. Gibbens’ request, the word of the week is Penultimate, meaning second to last. Have a great week!! #WordOfTheWeek #WoW #olathesouth
