We are kicking off our annual "Box of Love" Drive on Monday, October 12 to Friday, November 2.  Every year Fairmont Anaheim Hills Campus is the #1 school to support Canning Hunger in their effort to feed the hunger of Orange County.

This year, with help from generous people like you, we will collect and distribute "Boxes of Love" and putting them into the hands of thousands of hungry kids and their families here in Southern California. Each family will receive a traditional holiday meal of potatoes, rice, pinto beans, corn, green beans, soup, bread, fruit, juice, dessert and more.

Fall is in the air and so is the BOOK FAIR!  We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives.
 
Our Scholastic Book Fair theme this year is "All-Star: Every Reader is a Star!" This is part of an exciting reading event that brings to school a wonderful selection of fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to read. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they'll get.

Dates:  Friday, October 12-Thursday, October 18
Hours: 7:30am-8:30am 3:00pm-4:00pm
Special Extended Hours: Tuesday, October 16, 3:00pm-6:00pm
If you would like to volunteer to work at the Book Fair, sign up outside the Library.

Few things make a parent beam with pride more than a glowing review from a teacher. We love to hear that our children are bright, hard-working and responsible, and, chances are, that's just what you'll hear at your upcoming parent/teacher conference. Keep in mind that it is also a valuable opportunity to dig a little deeper and find out areas where your child may need support.

In order to make the most of this experience, it helps to do your homework. Think ahead about any concerns you may have and be prepared to share them with your child's teacher in an open and non-threatening way. Share important details about your child that the teacher may not know and that could help maximize your child's success in the classroom. Take advantage of the teacher's unique perspective to get a well-rounded picture of how your child is doing socially and emotionally as well as academically.

Let these tips from Scholastic be your guide and you'll be on your way to a productive parent teacher conference.

Before the Teacher Conference

Start preparing early. Don't wait until the night before to get organized. Create a folder at the beginning of the year in which you store test scores, big homework assignments, and your notes (about things your child has told you or any other topics you want to address).

Talk to your child. Ask how he or she's doing in class, what's going on during lunchtime, recess, and when he or she goes to special classes like music or gym.

Find out the communication protocol. Don't let this be the only time you talk to your child's teacher. Ask how he or she likes to communicate, whether it's by e-mail, notes passed through a folder, or phone calls.

Follow up. If the teacher brings something to your attention that needs to be addressed with your child, take steps to put the plan in motion, whether it's helping with organizational skills, getting extra help, or addressing a social issue.

Update your child. Start with the positive things his or her teacher had to say, then fill him or her in on any concerns you and the teacher discussed. Explain how you can all work together to ensure your child has a successful year.
