Students in Mrs. Fair's tenth grade ELA tried sonnet painting on Beach Day. Each student chose a Shakespearean sonnet to analyze and showed their interpretation of the themes and images in the poem through painting with watercolors.

Hello Fairview Family! We are in Ms. Turner’s first period science class, and we are involved in a school recycling project. We are going to try to make a hard-to-recycle drive. It is essentially where we, as the school, provide used products that are hard to recycle but are able to be. We will then send those products to a company that is able to recycle them. This is to prevent wasting products that could’ve been recycled. Throughout these next couple weeks, we will be updating the school on everything to take part and accomplish this hard-to-recycle job. We are hoping to do this for our class project. We will have more information in the next upcoming weeks.
Deadline for ordering a yearbook is April 19th.
EARTH ACTION PLAN from MS. Turner's Class: Imagine living in a world that is slowly disintegrating into nothing due to greenhouse gas emissions and running out of energy along with our resources. Food waste is when food that is fit for consumption is continuously discarded and wasted. Food being constantly wasted is not only a social issue, but also a large environmental issue that needs our attention before it gets out of hand. So next time you find yourself throwing out food that is perfectly good, think about all the ways you could be helping the environment and our future generations if you kept that food out of the trash and our landfills.
