For the last 26 days of school, the kindergarteners have a letter day. May 5th was Letter C (Cinco de Mayo) and May 8th was Letter D (Dino Day). Tacos, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, a pinata, digging for dinos, and wearing your very own dino hat...there could be no better way to spend a Friday or a Monday!
A group of 7th grade girls attended Behrend’s Math Options Career Day. They built a bridge out of spaghetti to learn about engineering, heard speakers on being an actuary, and attended the STEM in Action Fair that highlighted the different STEM majors Behrend offers.
FHS experienced a false smoke alarm this afternoon that was caused by dust in the new construction. Our students and staff "held in place" until further instructions were given. Thanks to our monthly drills, and the work of our School Security Team, our students are well prepared under these circumstances.

Another amazing experience with a guest speaker for AP Spanish & Culture as we head into exam weeks. Gracias a Jan Stillfried, who spoke to us straight from Santiago, Chile about cultural topics of all sorts, as usual almost all in Spanish. So proud of my students to be able to manage such complex conversations in the language! This is my favorite type of lesson - when I also get to learn so much.

We are aware of a circulating Snapchat post that contains a threat of violence at a school. Although it doesn't specifically name Fairview (or any local school) we take all threats seriously. Erie Police have confirmed that the threat is a hoax that has circulated in other states in recent weeks.
Fairview School Foundation FHS April Student of the Month
During the month of April, the kindergarten classes completed multiple author studies including, Mo Willems, Laura Numeroff, and Leo Lionni. They used their works to practice making predictions, inferring, cause and effect, making connections, and comparing and contrasting stories. The children also got to try using the varying illustration techniques to create characters from the stories.
Here are some rehearsal shots of one of our two spring plays, “One Stoplight Town”, a play about a small town, not unlike Fairview, that sees new developments and puts a stoplight in the middle of town. Some think the traffic light is unnecessary as “nothing new happens in this town”, but we soon see lots of things happen if we have the eye to look for them. Come support our students in the FHS auditorium at 7:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Tickets are $3.
Students getting into the full spirit of their lab work. Katelyn Chase lab coat and all.
