BULLETIN BOARD back-to-school

Happy September! This month's inspiration board is all about going back-to-school and the nostalgia and emotions this season conjures up for all of us. 

Old school flash cards hearken back to Fairmont’s early days in the 1950s. Vintage-inspired periodic table chart art is the perfect addition to any science genius' bedroom or classroom. Celebrate the end of summer with this pencil vase craft.  

We love the iconic symbol of the apple on these teacher note cards, which reminds us that parent/teacher communication is the best way to help kids succeed this school year.  A utilitarian lunch kit inspires us to fuel our minds and bodies with healthy eats all school year long!

ARTS & CRAFTS chalkboard lunch bag

In honor of the Back-to-School season, our favorite time of the year, we wanted to share a crafty solution to the annual crave for a new lunchbox. This chalkboard lunch bag is an eco-friendly alternative to the brown paper bag and can also serve as a canvas for a daily note or reminder from Mom or Dad. Tutorial by Instructables.  Have a great first week of school!

SUMMER week seven: reduce, reuse recyle

What does hockey, scrapbooking, talent shows and Knott's Berry Farm have in common? Week seven of Fairmont Summer Camp! This week, we also wrapped up summer school which focused on reading, writing and math to prepare students for the upcoming grade level. Even though there are only a few weeks of summer left, it's not too late to reserve your spot in one of our August enrichment workshops to pack in one more great summer adventure!

The camp talent show is always a hit! This year's "competitive origami" was a new twist!

Campers loved making peanut butter and birdseed feeders to hang outside at home

We can't believe how fast the summer has flown by and hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. With two weeks of activities left, don't miss saying goodbye to summer, Fairmont-style.

SUMMER parenting & kids expo

Don't miss Parenting OC's annual Parenting & Kids Expo this Saturday! The event will be at The District in Tustin, and the agenda includes: a Back-to-School Fashion Show, the Cute Kid Cover Contest, OC's top child performers, a game truck, and more. AND UC Irvine Healthcare will be offering complimentary whooping cough vaccinations for the first 500 students there, so your child can get the new mandatory vaccine just in time for school.

We'll be there at the Fairmont booth doing fun kid's crafts and raffling off a $50 gift card to Gymboree! Be sure to stop by and say hi :)

SUMMER week six: around the campfire

S'mores, stories and camp songs made Week 6 a camper favorite (not to mention DODGEBALL and SLIME in the same week!) Summer school wraps up next week but camp adventures continue throughout August. Here is a peek into more fun-filled activities at Fairmont Summer Programs:

Citron Camper hanging out at our "camp fire"

Arts and Crafts time at the Irvine Outdoor Education Center

Mable campers mining for ore at the Irvine Outdoor Education Center

Swim Day continues to be a camper favorite, especially if it includes getting launched by Fairmont Counselors!

Preschoolers at the Anaheim Hills Campus made and decorated boats and then competed in boat races during water play 

Camp Cap Construction was a hit with these "Wild Things" 

Morning art's owl scratchart and blockprints was a woot all week!

How many types of dodgeball can we pack into a week? Campers and Counselors love them all!

Art at the Edgewood Campus

Songs & s'mores around the "campfire"--with super hot days, we told ghost stories under the AC  this week!
