Special Academic Counseling Opportunity for 8th Graders
Mrs. Weems, the 9th grade Academic Counselor for 2013-14 incoming freshman at Fairmont Prep, will be on site at the Anaheim Hills Campus for one day, January 30. Parents who sign up in advance for a 45-minute appointment will be able to meet one-on-one with Mrs. Weems to create their student's Prep Four-Year High School to College Plan. Mrs. Weems will have the student's transcripts at the meeting, so she can suggest the best and most individualized course of study.
For those interested in the Medical Magnet or Engineering Magnet, an appointment with Mr. Prado, the Magnet Counselor is advised. Mr. Prado would be happy to schedule 45-minute appointments with those Fairmont 8th grade parents who contact him directly. Email Mr. Prado directly to meet with him at the Prep. His email address is rprado@fairmontschools.com.

On Tuesday they absolutely delighted us with a presentation about Korean cooking and traditions. Each student stood up and spoke in perfect English about Kimchi and Jung, how to make it, and the importance of it in Korean culture! At their school in Korea they have a large garden and grow many vegetables and herbs. They had grown the cabbage for the Kimchi and prepared it at home in Korea and then transported it over to the US for their cooking demonstration.
While they have been visiting us, the students have had lunch and PE with our Fairmont students to get to know them. It has been a wonderful experience for everyone. On Wednesday they visited Mrs. Cornish's fourth grade classroom while she taught a science lesson about circuits. It was so fantastic to see them making circuits afterwards. They were all so proud when the lights on their circuits lit up!
