Dear Fairview Families,
I hope you had a wonderful week! I wanted to give a huge thank you to our amazing PTA for hosting a fantastic Heritage Night and Art Show! It was a blast for everyone involved, and we're so grateful for the effort that went into bringing our community together.
The evening was packed with cultural showcases and incredible artwork from our talented students. It's events like these that truly strengthen our bonds and make our school community special.
Kudos to our dedicated PTA members for making it all happen. Your hard work is deeply appreciated, and we can't wait for more opportunities to come together and celebrate our diversity.
This week, our Falcon Focus lessons will focus on forming new habits. Here are some questions you can ask your child:
- What habits did you start this week?
- What habits did you stop?
- Where did you see opportunities for starting or stopping habits at school this week?
- What about at home?
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal
