Fairfield Panther Paw

Last night's Celebration for Dr Martin Luther King Jr was wonderful. Many students from all buildings received awards for demonstrating the beliefs and vision of Dr. King. Students gave speeches, performed and represented a dream that he held and that we as a country still strive for. This world can be filled with turmoil, stress and worry but seeing those students last night and all they represented give hope to our future. Fairfield is truly a family and our hope is that our students feel safe, valued, seen and heard. Congratulations to Demi Rai Lane and Harleyson Teneval Estime for being our award recipients and to Kaubrey Warren for being asked by the DO to take part in explaining what the song "Wade in the Water" was about.

Have a great weekend -- be safe and warm!

We have a very special presentation for our families at Fairfield and Harmon regarding Technology and the Brain. We know that children today spend time on devices whether it be a phone, an I pad or a computer/chromebook but how is it affecting their brain development? Not only being cognizant of when children are on devices but also being cognizant of what they are watching is a critical key. I hope that you will join us to hear more about how we can work with our children with today's technology.

When: Tuesday January 27th, 6:00 PM

What: Screen Time, Social Media and the Developing Brain. Lynsey Pearson from Pivot Point Counseling puts on this informative workshop for anyone working to help kids make healthy technology decisions.

Our school is hosting a Fairfield Family Culture Night on February 26th. Our goal for this evening is to celebrate the diversity and rich traditions of our Fairfield families. We are looking for parents who would like to teach a short 15-20 minute session about their culture; this could be sharing an artifact, a recipe, music, dress, a digital slideshow about your country, or any other ideas you have! If you are interested in being a part of this event to share about your culture, please email Michelle DiPietro (Michelle_DiPietro@plsd.us) as soon as possible! Thank you!
