Dear Fairview Families,
Our much-anticipated Book Fair is starting tonight from 5-7 pm and will run through Friday, March 28th in the Library. This is a fantastic opportunity to support our school library and encourage a love of reading in our children. We will have a wide selection of books for all ages, from beloved classics to the latest bestsellers. Please come and explore the wonderful world of books!
Next month, in April, we will be celebrating the Month of the Military Child. We are incredibly proud of the many military families within our Fairview community and want to honor their strength and sacrifice. Our Fairview Student Ambassadors worked hard these past few weeks to plan our Military Child Spirit Week to recognize our military children. From Purple Up! Wednesday to Sleepy Bootcamp Friday, please join us in celebrating the Month of the Military Child!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Samantha Goldstein
Principal
Fairview Elementary
