Second Grade to Santa Ana Zoo
Our second graders had a wonderful and educational field trip to Santa Ana Zoo this week. They are all starting to work on their animal reports for Open House, so it was exciting to see some of their animals!
Junior High Spirit Day
S-P-I-R-I-T...who's got spirit? Our Junior High had a spirit day this week and it was a blast! Each homeroom class had a color and the campus was a sea of colors: pink, yellow, blue, purple, red, and green. During the winter sports rally there were "Minute to Win It" competitions between the homeroom classes. Games such as dice-building on a Popsicle stick, Oreo cookie eating (with NO hands) and stacking blocks on a plate on your partner's head were so much fun!
Tri-Way Girls Volleyball Banner
With great pride, the banner for the Tri-Way Girls Volleyball Champions was unveiled at the winter sports pep rally. The girls had an unparalleled season, never losing a single game in the entire season! Congratulations to our amazing girls!
Locks of Love Cut-a-Long
Do you have long hair? Or will you have long hair by March? If so, save that hair to donate to Locks of Love!
On a date to be determined in March, there will be a school-wide assembly educating the school about how and why the Locks of Love organization makes wigs from donated hair. We will then take "live" donations one by one on stage. After the assembly, hair stylists from The Cartel Salon will style the hair of the people who donated to a beautiful new hair-do!
If you or your child is qualified (10 inches of pony tail to cut) and are willing to donate your hair for this great cause, please contact Heather Lopez (714) 693-3812 x1363 or email her at helopez@fairmontschools.com so she can get an idea of how many stylists are needed for this event.
