MS. MINGO BRIGHTENS OUR HALLS!

color

Hello Fairhill Families!

We hope you all had a chance to enjoy the student holiday with your children today! They never fail to brighten our day and we are happy they were around to brighten yours.  We did miss them though!  Here at school, our teachers were busy reflecting, refining, and planning for even greater teaching and learning for our staff and students.

Looking ahead, next week is our Fairhill Basketball Game! This is such an exciting event and a great  opportunity to build connections with our community.  There will be concession stands at the game.  There will also be spirit items for sale next week before school.  So pick your favorite team and come watch them play! This year the game will be at Falls Church HS so we should be able to accommodate all of our Fairhill Families. See below if you have any questions. 

Take good care,

Ted & Denise 


Basketball is coming to Fairhill!

Save the date for Friday, March 15 for our Staff Basketball Game!

 This year it will be at Falls Church High School in the Gymnasium.
