Dear Fairhill Families:

Wow! It is hard to believe it’s the last week of school. We have had such an amazing year and all of the reflection we have done this week has reminded us of all of the truly  wonderful moments our Fairhill Tigers have experienced this past year.

We hope you all enjoyed our Family Fun Day on Saturday. A huge thanks to the PTA for hosting such a great event. Our tight connection to the community is one of the things that makes Fairhill such a special place and it was great to see this back in action again.

We are busy hosting interviews for next year and as of now, Fairhill is completely staffed for the 2022-23 school year. Of course some things can change over the summer but read the list below of some of our beloved Fairhill Teachers and Staff that are moving onto new ventures.

Take Care,

Ted & Courtney 


goodbye
