FUN RUN WEEK!
Dear Fairhill Families,
Yay! We are making great progress on the Fun Run PTA fundraiser! This is our biggest fundraiser, held every two years, and it truly makes an impact on our school community.
This year, the funds will go toward:
- A new speaker system to enhance our Fairhill traditions and events.
- Improvements to the blacktop to encourage movement and active play for our students.
Did you know? Each year, the PTA:
- Provides $15,000 for field trips so every student can participate.
- Funds staff appreciation activities to support our teachers and staff.
- Has provided technology like wireless projectors for every classroom in our building.
- Added both indoor and outdoor furniture for our students.
- Supplies school materials for students in need.
Your generosity makes all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference at Fairhill!
And don’t forget—this Friday is our Fun Run! Help your child get excited for this special tradition that celebrates movement, community, and school spirit.
With gratitude,
Ted & Maura
