Teacher Appreciation Week
The Citron Campus will celebrate Teacher Appreciation March 26th - March 29th. During this week the Fairmont Parent Association has organized special activities to help make the Citron staff feel truly appreciated. A letter will be sent home today with the FPA activities for the week. These gestures are simple to do and the FPA asks for your help during the week by having your child participate. If you are interested in helping with any activities please contact Courtney Conant at fairmontmom@hotmail.com.

Spring Extra-Curricular Classes
The spring session for our Extra-Curricular classes will start Monday, March 26th. We are excited to be offering two new classes: Junior Detective and the Young Music Co. Our extracurricular classes allow your child to enjoy fun and enriching courses while broadening their experiences without even leaving the campus. Please note there was a misprint in the brochure. Mad Science will run from March 27th through May 22nd. We apologize for any confusion. Don't wait too long to sign up because some classes have limited space. Full payment for classes should be submitted by Monday, April 2nd (to the wooden Activities box). There will be no adds, drops, or refunds after Friday, April 6th. Don't miss out! The sign-up sheets are located in the Office Lobby. Please contact Ms. Dodson for more information at cdodson@fairmontschools.com.

Fairmont Parent Survey
An e-mail for the annual Fairmont Parent Survey went out last week. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide it to us. This year we are hoping to increase parent participation so we are raffling a $1,000 tuition discount good for the 2012-2013 school year. One winner will be drawn and all survey participants will be eligible.
