Hello Fairview Families,
It looks like we will finally have some decent Spring weather headed our way next week. Ugh…..Our Spring sports’ teams practiced in winter jackets during their first week of practice. Good luck to all of our young sport enthusiasts! A friendly reminder that we do not have school tomorrow, Friday, April 18th (April Break). Enjoy the long weekend!

Spring Open House – We are excited to be partnering with our school PTO for our annual Spring Open House (Art and Literacy Theme) on Thursday, May 22, 2025. We will have food trucks, the Scholastic Book Fair and book giveaways. An art gallery walk in the new gym along with reading strategies and tips to avoid “summer slide” are sure to be a hit!

Way to go, Fairview!
