Fairfield Panther Paw
October 17, 2025
From Mrs Tennenbaum
It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the 1st quarter already. The students and staff have been working hard to demonstrate ROAR expectations, earn house dollars and improve their skills in Reading, Writing, Math , Social Studies, Science and Related Arts. We hope to see great progress in our students this year but it does take school and home working together. Just a few minutes each night to read or practice math facts can make a huge difference. Encouraging your student to be a good ROAR model and to practice kindness will help them develop strong social-emotional skills. I am looking forward to an even better 2nd quarter!
We don't do Average, we do Awesome!
We are all in this together!
