The Academic Pentathlon, sponsored by the Orange County Department of Education, held its annual award ceremony on the evening of April 12th at the Heritage Forum in Anaheim. Fairmont was represented by the Mable, Edgewood, and Anaheim Hills campuses in a night that turned out to be very exciting for our students. Mable had two teams in seventh and two teams in eighth grade. All four of our teams did extremely well, garnering awards in several categories across the board. Among the awards earned this year were:

7th Grade, Fairmont Mable           

2nd place Super Quiz; 4th place Overall Team award

7thGrade, Fairmont Panthers

In a wonderful display of academic prowess, both eighth grade teams tied for first place in the Science Super Quiz. Overall, all of our junior high students performed admirably, both individually and on their teams.

Science Fair Update

After the very successful Science Fair last February, twenty students were invited to present their projects at the Orange County Science Fair on April 6. The eleven students below won awards on that day, and six of them will be moving forward to the California State Science fair to be held at USC on May 2nd and 3rd. Four of those students were also Broadcom Master Award winners. Mr. Briner, our science teacher, accompanied our students to the event, and we could all see the high caliber of the projects presented by schools from all over Orange County. Students were judged multiple times within their allotted time, and they had to effectively present and answer demanding questions from the judges. This was an outstanding year for the Mable students at the Fair, and we congratulate all of the participants and winners for their impressive performance.

Edgewood Parking Lot Safety Reminders

Parking lot: 

1) Parents need to enter the churchparking lot from Vanderlip ONLY. We want to have one way traffic in that parking lot. If parents ask another person (grandparent, friend etc) to pick/drop off their child, they need to inform that person of the procedure.

2) Parents need to slow down in all the parking lots. Please no speeding.

3) No parking on the red curb.

4) No running in the parking lots.

5) Children need to stay by their parents' side in the parking lot at all times.

The Golden Ticket

Deniz was the student randomly selected to share a meal with Mrs. Kaneski on Friday April 8, 2011.  Deniz's name was selected from a tub of yellow tickets each with names of students who have shown exceptional character during the last week.  If you know Deniz, then you know what a blessing she is to her teacher and to those around her. Deniz never puts herself first, but considers the feelings of others before her own.  Thank you, Deniz for sharing breakfast with me. I loved our time together.

3rd Grade to Irvine Outdoor Education Center

Last Friday, third grade embarked on a brand new field trip to Irvine Regional Outdoor Education Center.  This was actually our second attempt since the first scheduled field trip was postponed due to weather.  Students were giddy with anticipation as we board the bus Friday morning.  When we arrived students began the field trip with a gorgeous nature hike where science and social studies came together as they explored the adaptations of native plants and animals and their interdependence and their interaction with non-native species. While on the hike students also learned about the interactions of plant and animal species with Native Americans and early European settlers. Nutrient and water cycles came to life through hands-on activities at our solar, wind, and hand-powered well.  They also got investigate the ranch's citrus grove where more than 30 different species of citrus plants are grown and tended too.  The third graders were ecstatic when they learned that they could actually pick and eat some of the oranges and lemons.  The field trip wouldn't be complete without a hard hat, hammering, and shoveling in the ranches rock mine.   This was a field trip they would never forget and we'll definitely keep for next year. 

1st Grade Presentation

Mrs. Brown's class took part in a wonderful Persian New Year celebration presented by Mrs. Khashayar.  Mrs. Khashayar taught us about this beautiful celebration and brought in a beautiful display of symbols that their family uses to honor this Persian tradition.  We learned how intertwined the celebration is with nature and the beginning of wonderful things to come in the new year.  Thank you for your hard work and amazing presentation!

SNACK TIME celebrate soy

During April, National Soyfoods Month, try incorporating this healthy option into one of your family's meals.

Over a third of Americans enjoy a dinner that includes soyfoods, that is, food made from soybeans. Soyfoods include products made from tofu-and edamame. 

Tofu, or bean curd, is a soft cheese-like food made that is made by curdling soy milk with a coagulant*. The curds are pressed into rectangular or square blocks, similar to the way cheese is made with milk curds. Tofu is made in a variety of textures—soft, firm, and extra-firm—that have different purposes. Tofu has very little flavor on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and it is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.

Edamame is young soybeans, usually still in the pod. Because the beans are young and green when they are picked, edamame soybeans are soft and edible, not hard and dry like the mature soybeans which are used to make soy milk and tofu.

Some grocery stores sell green edamame that has been hulled (beans have been removed) resulting in just the beans. This hulled edamame is great for making salads or adding to rice dishes but also as a flavorful, nutritious snack on its own!

Soyfoods, like tofu and edemame are easy to digest, low in fat and sodium, and a good source of B vitamins and calcium plus and isoflavones.  

Tofu is an exceptional food—not only because it is highly nutritious, but because it can be prepared in such a remarkably wide variety of ways. The uses for tofu are limited only by a chef’s imagination. 

Soyfoods are easy to prepare and simple to incorporate into your favorite dishes. Here are some ways to increase soy in your diet:

Breakfast: Try soymilk on hot or cold cereal with some berries

Lunch: Try deli alternatives like soy “hot dogs” that taste great and offer all the benefits of soy.

Dinner: Meat alternatives are easy, try making tacos with soy crumbles in place of ground beef

Snack: Soyfood snacks like whole soy nutrition bars, soy yogurt and soy pudding 

Any time snacks: trade the candy box for something healthier: soy nuts covered in milk chocolate or a vanilla yogurt-based coating. 

Or 

Soynuts:  offer a solid crunch, and are found flavored with seasonings of barbeque, teriyaki, onion, garlic or just plain.

Or 

Edamame  - steamed young soybeans served in-the-pod can be a fun treat, hot or cold.

Soyfoods are a nutritious option for children and busy families. Plus they taste great!
