SCHOOL NEWS 7th & 8th grade pentathletes continue tradition of wins

Anaheim Hills pentathletes strike a proud pose with their coaches and Mr. David Jackson at this year's
Orange County Academic Pentathlon awards ceremony held Tuesday, April 24.

It's a tradition that stretches back more than most of us at Fairmont can remember (21 years, in fact) and this year, Fairmont's teams not only placed in the prestigious annual OC Academic Pentathlon, they brought home some of the top team and individual awards.  Of the many highlights of the awards presentation on April 24th was the discovery that six of the eight students who earned perfect scores on the 8th grade math test came from Fairmont Schools!  Way to go, Fairmont!  Special thanks goes out to all of the Pentathlon participants, including their coaches, for their hard work and preparation for the 2012 OC Academic Pentathlon.  Here are the highlights from each campus:
