Makayla has been a great role model. Everything that I have taught them she shows that she knows how to be an example. She follows directions, she does things without being asked, and she is still giving 110% even though it is at the end of the year. She has taken advantage of all of her time of learning. She has made remarkable gains this year in Reading and Math. She is a great student and a pleasure to have in class. Keep up the incredible work. Nice job Makayla!

Curriculum  News  

You also may have heard that Fairview is getting a HUGE construction update

over the summer. Our building is getting

a new heating and cooling system and

other updates. This is very exciting for

our school! However, it will take a lot of

hard work before summer for our

building! We will be packing up

EVERYTHING in our building prior to the

end of the school year. So as students

return from break, they may begin to

notice boxes being filled around them.

Please note that this is a needed

requirement, but there will still be plenty

of learning happening all of the way until

the end of the school year!

5th Grade Progress

From the beginning of the year until

now, I have seen so many gains. I

am so proud of my 5th graders and

all that they have accomplished.

10 more days to go…
