Happy Halloween!

It's been a damp week... but not much will stop the kiddos from celebrating Halloween today at Fairview. Just a few announcements...

  • Columbia Public Schools Foundation - Papa John's Fundraiser lasts through tomorrow, October 31. Pizza lovers who order Papa John's pizza will have 20% of their purchase donated back to Columbia Public Schools - 10% to your individual school and 10% to the CPS Foundation. You must provide the school code when ordering... Fairview's code is CPSF06. You can find more information and coupons on this flyer from Papa John's.
  • Wednesday, November 4 is Picture Re-take day. If your child missed pictures the first time or needs his/her picture retaken, contact your child's teacher or the school office for the appropriate forms.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

Weekly Update

Greetings, all! It was great to see so many of you at the Fairview Fever Festival last Friday. I don't think any of the kids actually felt the cool temperatures, even though some grownups may have!

Next week, don't forget:
  • Wednesday, October 14 is Lunchroom Supervisor Day. I have eaten lunch with my kids at Fairview a number of times, and am always impressed by the care the supervisors take with all of our children. Be sure to say "thank you" to them!
  • Friday, October 16 is Fairview Fever Day. Remind your child to show his or her school spirit by wearing Fairview-wear or the school colors - blue, yellow and white!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
