SCHOOL NEWS oc register recognizes world-changing prep student

Congratulations to Fairmont Prep Academy's Nathaly Basto Camargo who was named one of Ten Graduates Who Will Change the World by the Orange County Register.  The article shared Nathaly's passion for education and for giving back to her community.  She founded an organization with a mission of educating high achieving minority students on ways to receive acceptance and scholarships to top colleges like Harvard, Stanford and Yale, where Nathaly will be matriculating this fall.  She took what she learned from her own experience and started speaking at area public schools--motivating soon-to-be graduates on how they too could go to a top college on scholarship.

Great work Nathaly!  We think you're already changing the world for the better and wish you all the best at Yale!

Anaheim Hills:

Field Day!

What a blast!  Field day was super fun for all of our students.  They had a wonderful time 'racing' with all of the funny obstacles. They jumped through hula-hoops, rode a scooter through cones, juggled balls on a spoon and did hop-scotch!  They laughed and giggled as they cheered their classmates on to the finish line.  Everyone loved getting their medals and yummy snow cones.

Historic Anaheim:

Move-Up Day

On Tuesday, June 4th, Historic Anaheim held our traditional Move-Up Day.  On this day, JK-8th grade students "move-up" and visit their next year's classrooms. It is an exciting day for students and teachers alike.

Students met and spent time with each of the teachers who are in the grade they will be in next school year.  

Each teacher presented to the students about a unique topic. For example, Mr. Edmisten had his students participate in a probability game, Mr. Briner and Mrs. Riley presented to sixth grade students about the Grand Canyon overnight trip, Ms. Gratzer read a story to the Junior Kindergarten students and Miss Patterson explained a "day in the life of sixth grade" to the students visiting her class.

More photos from Move-Up Day are available on our Flickr page.

THE FAIRMONT FIVE fun father's day playdates

Father's Day is coming up!  We love dads and appreciate having so many wonderful fathers involved in their children's education.  Here are a few suggestions of fun places to go and things to do with dad on his big day:

1. Nature hike--get out and enjoy the great outdoors together. Find a trail near you by going to LocalHikes and entering your zipcode.
2. Movie--bond over popcorn and a family-friendly flick at your local cinema.
3. Children's Museum--dads are really just big kids themselves, so they'll love a hands-on children's museum like Discovery Science Center or The Bowers Museum's Kidseum.
4. Beach--so cal dads love the beach!  Head over to Crystal Cove State Park for swimming, tide pooling, and sand castle making.  Dad and kids will love the burgers and hand-blended shakes at the Shake Shack or for fancier fare book a reservation at the Beachcomber. 
5. Camping--dad can showcase his outdoor survival skills on a weekend away camping. Check out these last minute camping ideas from Sunset magazine or for something even closer to home pitch a tent in your own backyard!
