We have been working with Special Olympics PA to plan a FUN-raiser for the school. Since Fairview High School is a Unified Champion School with Unified Bocce and Unified Track & Field, we feel it is important to give back to the organization.
Students who donate at least $10 online will be able to participate in the Rain Rally event. Anyone who raises $35 or more will receive a free t-shirt. During the rally, students will be able to run through the 'rain' provided by Fairview Fire & Rescue.
Friday, April 26, 2024, 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM, Fairview High School (south parking lot)
The Rain Rally is a way for students to experience the polar-plunge fun without leaving school grounds.
The FHS Ceramic class students participated in a raku firing at PennWest University. We witnessed our pots glowing red at 1500 degrees and set on fire in cans of sawdust. When the lids were put on the cans it created a reduction atmosphere to achieve the signature raku glaze effect we were aiming for. In addition to the firing we toured the numerous art classrooms in multiple buildings on campus, participated in a hands-on activity, and watched a live pottery demonstration. The students gained exposure and experience in what a college art program can offer. What a great day!

From Ms. Turner's science class: Each year, 149 billion meals are wasted, thrown in the trash and taken to landfills. When food goes to rot in landfills, it produces methane, which is a greenhouse gas that is even more potent and damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide. These greenhouse gas emissions blanket the earth and therefore trap the sun's heat and start causing global warming and even climate change. Warmer climates over time can change weather patterns and disrupt the balance of nature. Along with gas emissions, contributing to food waste is taking food away from people in need and instead letting it rot in landfills when it can still be used. Overall, you shouldn’t contribute to this growing problem. So next time you see yourself throwing something away that could still be used, take action and keep it out of our landfills.
Fairview's Unified Track & Field team had their 1st meet of the season against GM. We have 40 athletes on the team this season. Go Tigers!!

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. Students enjoyed painting their poems to tropical music as they awaited their Beach Day activities.
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.
