Model United Nations Conference was held at American University in Washington, DC this past weekend. Colin Bolla, Drew Erhartic, Adam Chiocco, and Susannah Poese were recognized as Outstanding Delegates.
Our Tiger Cub Closet has a new section! We have added a "fancy" clothes area. This is a section where students can pick out nicer clothes if they are in need for such occasions as the Daddy/Daughter Dance, church, weddings, etc. It adds a nice touch of sparkle to the area!
One of the benefits of being the "Top Dogs" of the school is that you get to go on cool field trips like to Peek N' Peak! In January, our 4th graders went tubing with their class, teachers, and Dr. Horn! What a perfect day for it! They had a great time as you can see!

Check out this amazing group of Senior Swimmers. We are proud of these young men and women.
In 2nd grade math, our 2nd graders are comparing numbers using greater than, lesser than, and the equal sign. Ms. Snyder uses large playing cards in the groups and each student takes their turn deciding which set is greater, less than or equal to the other. The students love the interaction with each other and the how fun math can be!
Last night, the 4th-grade band and the 3rd/4th-grade choir, held their winter concert. We could not be more proud of all of our students for the fantastic job they did and how far they have come in such a short amount of time. Ms. Shally does such a great job instilling a love of music in our younger students!

This week Mr. Kesler's 6th and 7th grade class worked hard as they completed a crossfit-style partner workout. The workout consisted of 5 different exercises and the two individuals were able to split up the reps and exercises however they decided to. Lots of friendly competition took place to see which group could finish the workout first!
National Hot Chocolate Day was celebrated at the high school. Hot chocolate was provided and served by student council.
Third grade had an opportunity to connect their learning about rocks and minerals to dinosaurs. Students used AR to bring dinosaurs to the classroom and had the opportunity to participate in a Dino dig!
Last week, Mrs. Mondy's class celebrated being halfway done with kindergarten by having an ABC fashion show, since they just finished learning all 26 letters of the alphabet! The children each designed a letter vest and got to model it on the runway during their 90th day of school celebration.

Our wonderful Title 1 Coordinator, Claudia Filippi came up with the idea of having a Tiger Cub Closet. The Tiger Cub Closet is a safe space for our youngest students to shop for items they may need! We offer clothing, shoes, school supplies, and love. Our wonderful Fairview Foundation has sponsored us to offer this service to our school community. Our own FES parent and volunteer, Liz Imbrogno, created, organized, and helped supply the new Tiger Cub Closet. And as a way to say Thank you for all of her hard work, Liz was awarded the first Above and Beyond Award given by the Fairview School District Administration and School Board.
We could not be more proud of our staff, parents, and volunteers for what they do every day to make Fairview School District the best schools possible!
The students in Mrs. Huggler's ELA class have been working on descriptive writing. They had fun tasting donuts and thinking about words to describe the smell, texture, and taste. The class then applied this to their writing activity and designed their own donut.
