Dear Farnham Families,
We’re so proud of our third, fourth, and fifth graders for completing their statewide testing this week! Their effort, perseverance, and positive attitudes truly stood out, and we couldn’t be more impressed with how they rose to the challenge.
As we push toward the finish line of the 2024–25 school year, it's important that all students continue to uphold our Three Personal Standards:
🔹 Solve Problems
🔹 Make Good Decisions
🔹 Show Respect
Please partner with us by reminding your child(ren) of these expectations both at school and at home, they help create a safe, supportive, and successful learning environment for everyone.
Mark your calendars! Our Open House is happening on Thursday, May 22nd from 6:00–7:00 PM. Join us to celebrate student learning with classroom displays, the Farnham Art Show in the cafeteria, and the BOGO Book Fair in the library. Students will also visit the Book Fair during their regular library time next week.
We look forward to seeing you there and wrapping up the year strong, together!
Be well,
Amy O'Hehir
Farnham Principal

We are excited to showcase our students’ creativity at this year’s Art Show, which will take place on May 22 during Open House in the cafeteria. This special event will feature a collection of student artwork, celebrating their artistic growth and expression.
To make this event a success, we need parent volunteers to help set up the exhibit in the days before the show and break it down afterward. If you are interested in lending a hand, please fill out the Google form. More details are to come!
Spring has Sprung, which means our lost and found is already growing since Spring break! If your child is missing a jacket, hat, water bottle or a lunchbox check the lost & found area located next to the cafeteria doorway. Some morning we will display the lost and found rack in front of the office.
Labeling your items with first and last name helps us to get lost items back to our students. Please label all items sent to school!
