ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.
Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.
That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.
If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

Falls Elementary marked Homecoming this week with dress-up days and a school assembly built around what it means to be a Bronco. The school also named its September Students of the Month and announced its Bronco Pride drawing winners.
Students and staff showed their school spirit through dress-up days and a September Bronco Pride assembly that brought everyone together. Cheerleaders helped build excitement by teaching students their class cheers and the Bronco Cheer.
Bronco football players greeted students at the door and served as role models, showing younger students what Bronco Pride looks like in action.
Being a Bronco goes beyond school spirit. The school’s September focus was Kindness and Respect, with students talking about what those qualities look and sound like throughout the building.
In October, the focus shifts to Responsibility. Together, the themes teach students to show kindness, treat others with respect, take responsibility for their choices, and take pride in their school and community.
Classroom teachers, specialty teachers, and other staff selected the students for demonstrating Kindness and Respect. As a reward, the students had a special lunch with the principal in the school’s new conference room, with a front-row view of the paving project outside the window. Each student also chose a book from the school’s book machine.
The Bronco Pride Program is part of PBIS, or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, a schoolwide approach that teaches, models, recognizes, and reinforces positive behavior. Staff give students Bronco Pride tickets when they notice positive choices, and explain why the ticket was earned.
Students can spend tickets at the Bronco Pride Store or enter them in a drawing for a larger prize at the end of each month. The September winners:
In music class, kindergarteners built confidence and improvisation skills by performing for classmates with a microphone. Each student sang, “Hey, hey, look at me! I am ________, you can see!” and then performed an action or talent for an 8-count.
Mrs. Morrison’s kindergarten class earned an ice cream sundae celebration by collecting all of their good behavior points.
Mrs. Nemec’s and Mrs. Bergstrom’s classes visited Voyageurs National Park, where they learned about the plants and animals of the area and the Voyageurs who frequented it. Park Rangers led hands-on, interactive activities and answered student questions.
The newsletter also includes the breakfast and lunch menus, drop-off and pick-up information, Picture Day details, and a Box Tops reminder. Families can find those items and the school’s helpful links in the full newsletter.
