Student Spotlight for November - Dylan Smith
Dylan started playing recreational soccer here in Anaheim Hills when he was 5 years old. At the same time he was taking gymnastics classes at KIPS and learning karate. Eventually soccer won out and after 3 years in rec. soccer he moved up to club soccer. He is now in his third year as striker for the Fullerton Rangers, who are currently undefeated.
In 2009 Dylan was invited to try out for the Olympic Development Program (ODP). He trained with their coaches up in Ventura and made the "Boys Under 13 Team." ODP selected him again this year, and he progressed up into the Regional team, now representing the West Coast for the "Boys Under 14 Team." This past August Dylan was invited into the National Pool, and he trained with the US Soccer coaches in Concord, Massachusetts, for a week. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, while we are all enjoying our turkey dinner, Dylan will be playing soccer with the Regional and National teams in Florida.
Here at Fairmont Dylan has played 3 sports: Flag football, Soccer and Basketball on both the DSL and Triway Leagues.
In his spare time, Dylan enjoys activities on our ranch in Montana - hiking the Bitterroot trails, mountain biking and horse riding, and in California you can find him air soft shooting, paint balling, and playing games on his x-box. Dylan loves animals, and he plays with our 2 Labrador puppies and 3 cats all the time. As for the future, who knows? He talks about becoming a farmer sometimes, he talks about going into the marines sometimes, and he talks about professional soccer sometimes.
Dylan has been a student at Fairmont for 11 years, and his experiences on this campus, with his teachers, coaches and administrators have played a big part in who he is today. Let's hope whatever high school he goes to can keep up the good work with Dylan.

Third Grade Visits the Long Beach Aquarium
Mrs. Carroll and Mrs. Bloomingdale's Third Graders had a wonderful day at the Long Beach Aquarium. They learned about plankton and 'splash zones' .
All the students loved touching and feeling the animals, they even got to touch stringrays when they went outside!

"Book Report"
The Trumpet of the Swan
Ms. Jarvis chose this book as one of her favorites because she has enjoyed reading it to her grandchildren. It is a heart-warming tale of a young boy that befriends a swan. Although it is a simple story it touches on the celebration of the fact that we all have differences. It is a wonderful book for boys and girls!
Although he lacks a voice in the traditional "Ko-hoh!" sense, trumpeter swan Louis learns to speak to the world with a trumpet stolen from a music store by his father. With the support of an unusual boy named Sam, who helps Louis learn how to read and write, the swan has some rather unswanlike adventures and ultimately wins the love--and the freedom--of a beautiful swan named Serena.
For over 30 years, E.B. White's masterpiece has captured the fancy of countless readers. Now, with stunning new art by award-winning illustrator Fred Marcellino, the beloved story can be experienced anew. The sepia-colored drawings lend an old-fashioned charm to the story--it's almost as if, with their complementary dry wit and uniquely creative talents, White and Marcellino originally worked together. Marcellino received the Caldecott Honor for his illustrations in Charles Perrault's Puss in Boots (Ages 8 to 12).
