As part of the International Coastal Cleanup, environmental science students spent about an hour and a half cleaning up Fairview's campus. During that time, they collected almost 60 pounds of trash that included, among other items, 927 food wrappers and 249 plastic bottles. "After homecoming, I was unimpressed with the amount of trash left on the ground," said Joey DiBacco, "and I was happy that we could participate in the ICC so we could leave the environment better than we found it." Aiden Figurski added that "it's always nice to give a helping hand to our environment."
The AP English Language & Composition students crafted creative skits to demonstrate their knowledge of various persuasive appeals as they begin to study the foundations of rhetoric. Their humor-filled performances were engaging and insightful!

5th graders in Mrs. Yates' math class have been so busy the past few weeks with their Measurement and Geometry chapters. First, to close out the Measurement chapter, students created their own houses based upon specific Customary and Metric measurements. There were some outstanding houses and it was so hard to choose the winners! To kick off the Geometry chapter, students created Quadrilateral Trading Cards to become familiar with all of the attributes of each quadrilateral. As we began studying three-dimensional shapes, students created them with playdough and toothpicks to find faces, edges, and vertices. Finally, to close out the Geometry chapter, students used volume snap cubes to create their initial, find the volume, and then combine with other students to find composite volume. Safe to say they have earned a restful Spring Break!
