Dear Fairhill Families,

Happy New Year! We were so excited to welcome back our tigers to school yesterday. We are ready to have a fantastic 2019 year filled with learning, growth, fun and laughter. We wanted to express our gratitude for the overwhelming generosity that was shown to us through holiday gifts. We appreciate the cards, gifts and warm holiday wishes. We have the best tiger family around!

We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday for our monthly PTA meeting.

As always, we are a team! Have a question or a concern? Email us or call using the contact info below!

Warmly,

Mrs. Hunstad and Mrs. Korb

All Pro Tigers...January 18th

Fairhill All Pro Tigers provides an opportunity for dads and other role models to spend quality time with their children at school that will strengthen their relationship, as well as benefiting our school and the entire community.  It is a vital part of the National PTA’s Strategy for Engagement for Men.  We meet for breakfast, engage in conversation, participate in activities, win prizes, and have FUN.   Join us for our next meet-up on Friday, January 18 from 8:10-9:10 in the cafeteria!

Career Day

Our first Career Day will be on March 28, 2019! The purpose of Career Day is to expose students to a variety of careers in order to jumpstart their thinking about the future. By preparing early, students will be more likely to be college and career ready after high school graduation. Students in grades 4-6 will participate in Career Day.

We can’t do it without you! Please think about how you may be able to support Career Day!  If you are interested and available, please complete this form and send back to school.

Questions? Email Mrs. Schwartz at gwschwartz@fcps.edu or Mr. Mitchell at asmitchell@fcps.edu
