Congratulations Daisy Troop 950!

Fairmont Private Schools was well represented this past weekend at the Richard Nixon Library for the Girl Scouts 99th Birthday where they won 1st place for the Daisy Level art contest.  The theme of the party was "Celebrating Differences".  Our 1st grade Daisy girls entered in the Shoe Art contest themed "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" where each girl picked a color of the rainbow and create their own design.  They were encouraged to be resourceful and "re-purpose" materials they had on hand for their project.  Our young ladies may be small in size but super BIG with their creativity.  Congratulations Daisy Troop 950.  We're very proud of you.

Kindergarten Readiness

In today’s educational system parents and educators work to prepare students for Kindergarten through teaching children their ABCs, numbers, shapes and colors which are the foundational pieces to build upon during the kindergarten year. While teachers agree that the mastery of these basic knowledge skills are important, they are also looking for their students to be good listeners, to follow directions, to play well with others, to cut and paste, and to be eager learners. The balance of academic knowledge, development growth, and supportive parents are the keys to a successful student.

We would like to extend a personal invitation for you and your family to join us on March 24, 2011 from 5:00-6:00pm for a introduction to the Citron Kindergarten experience. We will have a brief presentation by Mrs. Douglas, as well as a conversation with our panel of teachers, at the end there will be a Q & A session. 

Please RSVP to Ms. Rafat at your earliest convenience . We look forward to seeing you there!

FACULTY LOUNGE edgewood athletic director wears many hats

Karen Letson-Drake started working at Edgewood in 1981 as an elementary teacher, then became a specials teacher and years later began coaching. She attended Oregon State and received her Bachelors of Science in Elementary & Physical Education. Mrs. Letson-Drake is currently teaching Study Skills to 6th, 7th & 8th graders and Physical Education to 4th-8th graders.

TEACHER'S PET mia and macy

These are our dogs Mia and Macy! They love to get in the sheets right out of the dryer and bury themselves. Gia named Mia (the one in the back). She is our newest addition. Both dogs are very lovable and Gia plays with them constantly. The picture below is of Mia behind my computer. I got lucky and had the camera ready. The dogs like to sit on my lap and climb on the desk while I work. It makes it hard to get anything done when you have such a cutie on the other side of the monitor!
