THE VIEW

I cannot believe I have already been at Fairview for a month. In that short time, I have been incredibly impressed by our students, staff and the strong sense of community that makes this school such a special place.

Every day, great things are happening at Fairview. Inside the classroom students are learning, growing and being supported by dedicated teachers who truly care about their success. Outside the classroom, students are involved, engaged and representing our school with pride. GO COLTS!

What stands out the most is the commitment I see across our school. Our staff work tirelessly for students, our students rise to the expectations set for them and our families play an important role in supporting our shared goals. It is clear that Fairview is a place where people care deeply about doing things the right way.

I am truly proud to be part of the Fairview family and grateful for the warm welcome I have received. I am excited about what we will continue to accomplish together. The future is bright at Fairview and we are just getting started.

Mr. Evan's & and Mrs. Traub's homeroom have raised a lot of money for 6th grade Four Diamonds fundraiser. I believe they are responsible for around half of the donations.

As a school, we have raised a total of $863.13 for Four Diamonds. We will continue to accept donations on Monday so that 5th grade can possibly earn the opportunity to duct tape Mr. G to the wall! Awesome work, Fairview!
