Dear Fairhill Families,
Wow! Can you believe we are in the last week of school before winter break! Time has certainly flown by this year. This week is focusing on learning and of course, Fairhill is taking the time to celebrate the great work we have all done so far.
On Thursday our band, strings and chorus Winter Concert will begin at 6:30 P.M. We encourage you to attend if you are able. The Winter Concert is always a fun way to get into the spirit of the holidays. There is no better display of progress than watching students perform a concert when many of them have just learned to play an instrument. It's amazing how fast our students learn new things!
Winter break is busy for everyone but we encourage you to take advantage of the time off and allow your students to reconnect with the important skill of relaxation. Curl up with a good book, play a board game as a family, or maybe even play in the snow!
Take good care and see you all in the New Year.
Ted & Courtney

Our Kindergarteners' smiles are contagious!
Gifts for Fairhill Staff
As we head into Winter Break, consider using GiftCrowd to thank our wonderful staff at Fairhill. GiftCrowd simplifies the gift giving process and ensures that the recipient receives a gift of their choice. Thanks to our PTA for making this so easy on families!
How it works:
1. The PTA has loaded all Fairhill Staff members into the GiftCrowd site.
2. Just cut and paste this link: https://app.giftcrowd.com/join-event/JQW4Rq_hl7 and donate any amount to as many staff members as you choose.
100% of the donation goes directly to the staff member. Messages and/or photos can also be added to gifts.
3. The total amount contributed to each staff member is delivered to the recipient who can choose to spend it on a long list of gift cards (for example, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, Bed, Bath and Beyond, various restaurants, etc).
4. All gifts end on 12/16/2022 2:00 PM when they will be sent to their respective recipients.
