By now, you should have received an email with our annual parent survey. To keep the survey anonymous the link was emailed to you from Options Marketing Research. The anonymous opinions and thoughts of all Fairmont parents in the survey are critical to our schools and highly valued.  

Last year we instituted a number of changes due to parent feedback-including this weekly eNewsletter! Please take 8-10 minutes to let us know what is working for you and what is not.    

Thank you!

On March 18th, seventh graders from Mable, Edgewood, and Anaheim Hills campuses hopped on a school bus and traveled to the Fairmont Preparatory Academy to celebrate "Around the World Day." After proceeding to the auditorium and theater, the students listened intently to a pleasant presentation about the classes available at the Prep. Included were AP Math courses, the Medical Magnet program, and the Engineering Magnet program. Many students agreed that the best part was when Mr. Yoon, the theatre teacher, showed the students a mini movie about the theater arts course. One student, Dev Shah, said, "I loved it! Mr. Yoon was hilarious!"

After the presentation, the students made their way to the gym. The UCI CAMA group performed astonishing feats of martial arts. After that, the students stared in amazement as a gentleman displayed his vocal talents in a mix of beat-boxing and rapping. In a grand finale, a group of talented dancers left the crowd in awe with a display of break dancing.

For lunch, the 7^th graders had a choice between California rolls and Lebanese cheese pies. They also had the option of purchasing Lollicup boba teas, baked goods from the 85 Degrees Celsius Bakery, and other refreshments. All proceeds went to the Japanese tsunami relief effort. A lion and a snake were also there for students' enjoyment.

All in all, the seventh graders enjoyed a fabulous, fun-filled day.  Many look forward to experiencing day a like this when they are students at the Prep!  

On March 15th, the 2nd graders saw the show "Where Are You?" at the Tessmann Planetarium.  Students learned where we are, from our planet to our galaxy.  They learned about the International Space Station and how astronomers use tools to learn about space.  It was a thrilling show; just ask the 2nd graders!
