The Falcon Fan Tailgate took place on Friday, Sept. 27, at 5 p.m., featuring food, drinks, and games to stir excitement in attendees for the football game against Glencoe High School, which took place later that evening and was attended by students wearing clothes in red, white, and blue to match the USA theme. 

The tailgate raised money for the Alumni Association, with their president giving a speech. 

Located mainly in the cafeteria courtyard, the event also included a stand for the Falcon Fan Store, where hats, sweatshirts, shirts, sweatpants, umbrellas, and more were displayed for sale.

Due to the large number of guests, numerous volunteers contributed to setting up and running the tailgate. People attending the event were greeted by cheerleaders in the main entrance and then got stamps and wristbands in the main hallway.

Freshman Ava Slater has lived in Oregon her whole life, staying in Happy Valley for the majority of that time. Ava enjoys the unpredictable and diverse weather in Oregon, especially when all the leaves turn orange in the fall. Ava’s family was brought to La Salle because of its exceptional academics and strong community. She graduated from Holy Family Catholic School last year. She has enjoyed track and field in the spring for the past few years and is planning to continue at La Salle. Outside of school and sports, Ava enjoys playing with her French bulldog, Pierre, and her Rottweiler, Roxy. Ava enjoys French and math. This is her first year taking French, but she already feels like she has learned a lot and has had a lot of fun in her class. She likes math because it has a lot of real-life applications and will help her in the future. Ava has always wanted to visit France, so she is hoping to go there with La Salle when she is an upperclassman.
