TEACHER'S PET axel the labrador

Hello, my name is Axel. I am 6 years old. I am a black labrador and am the friendliest dog ever. I love to swim at the beach, play catch with my ball, and make new friends! On the weekends, my best friend, Mr. Powell, takes me to dog beach in Del Mar. It's the best time of my week.

Denim Day 2010 

Thank you so very much to our first grade teacher, Marci Shaffer for organizing the "Lee National Denim Day" at the Anaheim Hills Campus!  As much as we all loved wearing jeans and pink in celebration of this day, the cause is real and cancer touches so many of us and our families. We are pleased to announce that you all contributed $2,620 to Breast Cancer Research!  Marci's mother died of breast cancer and she wore a shirt that said "Mom, I miss you" and her sons wore shirts that said "I wear pink for my grandma".  Thank you also to Mrs. Davtyan, Emory and Norah's mom, for helping Mrs. Shafer so much. Mrs Davytan's mother is a breast cancer survivor.  Thank you to all our other moms and Mrs. Apple who fight the battle so valiantly and bravely.

Solar Power Coming Soon

Were you aware that if we could harness the energy from the sun for one minute we could provide the Earth with energy for one year?  Today, alternative energy solutions including solar, wind, hydro and biofuels are being researched and developed around the globe. Here at Fairmont we are learning to appreciate the sun as an energy resource.

The City of Anaheim will be providing us with a solar flag in the near future. The flags are a photovoltaic system typically producing one kilowatt of power. The unit will be mounted on top of a flagpole. This unit will be used as a teaching device for all grades with the hope of inspiring our students to look for green solutions to our energy problems.

Eagles' Victorious Win
Fairmont Edgewood’s’ Junior. High football team was victorious Wednesday over Heritage Christian on the Patriot's home field!  Led by 6th grade quarterback Caden S, the Eagles came back to win 19-12 after being down 12-6 in the second half.  Running back Liam M. scored two touchdowns, both long runs from scrimmage.  Liam's second touchdown put the game on ice with only minutes to go in the fourth quarter.  Wide receiver Nick F. scored the other touchdown with a catch from Caden early in the second half.  The offensive line, center Ohmer K. and guards Alex Co. and Osman A., all played extremely well Wednesday.  Other standout players included Francisco B., Ethan M., Kieran M. and Daniel S. with key defensive plays.

Jog-a-thon News

A huge “Thank You” to all the parents and volunteers for a great jog-a-thon!  We loved seeing all the parents come out and cheer for the children! All the students did such an amazing job running as fast as they could and trying to get as many laps as possible run in 5 minutes. There were as many as 10 laps by preschool and 20 plus laps by an elementary student. The Citron Campus would also like to thank all the family and friends who sponsored children and helped with our jog-a-thon fundraiser. Great job everyone!

Preschool Is Watching Their Gardens Grow

Preschoolers love to help with all types of activities, and gardening is no exception.  The children love to dig in the garden and water plants.  This year we are providing our students the opportunity to grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables in their own class gardens!  This is part of a new outdoor education component added to our preschool curriculum. Over the past week we have seen the children digging holes, gently patting the soil around newly placed plants and watering. Even though we have installed a drip system the students are watering their own plants. We have taken care to include only child-safe plants in our gardens.  Our collection of gardening tools is just beginning and we would appreciate any donations especially small watering cans or any kid-sized gardening implements.We can't wait to watch as the garden continues to grow and flourish!    (Contributed by Mrs. Douglas)
