Dear Farihill Families
As we step into May, we start off with National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6th - 10th! This week provides us with a wonderful opportunity to express our gratitude to the incredible Fairhill teachers and staff who change the lives of our students each and every day. Our teachers and staff are the backbone of Fairhill. They dedicate countless hours to nurturing, teaching, and inspiring our students to reach their full potential. Thank you to our staff.
Below is a calendar of events that our Fairhill PTA, in partnership with Fairhill administration, are putting together to celebrate our teachers and staff next week. Please take a moment to review the superhero activity for Thursday that provides an opportunity for students to share the impact of their teachers. A copy of the activity was sent out in last week's Tuesday folder.
Thank you for all of your continued support, next week especially, of all things Fairhill. Connections to our community is one of our greatest assets.
Enjoy this upcoming 3 day weekend, as May 3rd is a teacher workday and no school for students.
All our best,
Ted & Maura
