First Grade in "SPACED OUT"!

On Thursday, January 20, a host of 1st Grade "star gazers" and "astronauts" performed in the musical Spaced Out! for students and parents. The sun and moon taught us a tune, and the comets and meteors "rocked out" for us. Directed by our music specialist, Mrs. Zavoral, this musical reinforced what the students have learned in 1st Grade Science. The show was one that everyone loved!

Junior High Pentathlon Teams

For the past sixteen years, Fairmont's students have had great success participating in Orange County's Academic Pentathlon.  The Orange County Academic Pentathlon is an exciting, one-day, 5 event academic competition for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.  After weeks of academic coaching, team studying and individual preparation, Pentathletes gather on competition day to test their knowledge in essay writing, literature, mathematics, science and social science.  Once the results are tallied, the students and their parents are invited to attend the awards ceremony where medals are given for both individual and team success.

Congratulations to the following students who will be representing the Anaheim Hills Campus in the Orange County Pentathlon on April 2, 2011

FRIDAY FOLDER edgewood campus january 21

SHOW & TELL 

Preschool visits with Dr. Sue

On Friday, January 14th, Dr. Sue, "the Bug Lady," came to "bug" Edgewood's preschoolers with her traveling Arthropod Zoo. After discussing the five types of arthropods, Dr. Sue brought out her famous tarantula, Rosa Josefina Segovia. Without a doubt, the highlight for the children was when the students were allowed to pet a few of the arthropods brought in. Dr. Sue's Traveling Arthropod Zoo demonstrated to be a great success as the children were able to further their knowledge on bugs and insects, and finally witness for themselves, what they had previously only seen in books. 

Kindergarten to Amy's Farm

On Friday, January 14th, the Kindergarteners went to Amy's Farm for their first field trip.  The children had a great time petting the pig, horses, kitties, chicks and a giant cow named Tina!!!  Amy, the owner of the farm, taught the children about growing an organic garden, and let the children pick lettuce from her garden to feed the pig named Wilber.  The weather was perfect for our trip and the mountains close by were just beautiful.  I'm sure the Kindergarteners will never forget their hands on experience milking the cow and becoming true farmers!!

2nd Grade to the Ocean Institute

Mrs. Kaneski's and Ms. Escutia's second grade classes had a great experience on their first field trip of the year at the Dana Point Marine Institute. Students had the opportunity to look through microscopes at plankton, feel sea stars and other sea creatures in the touch tank, learn about ocean animals' adaptations, life cycles , ways of reproduction, and much more! It seemed that the most exciting part of the trip (as told by the second graders) was the dissection of a squid. The kids were fascinated by this and can't stop talking about it. Ms. Escutia's class wonders if the next two field trips will even compare. I guess we will have to wait and see.

A note from The Admissions Director

Now is the time of year that we ask all current Citron families to let us know their plans for the next school year. This year we are going to the Islands with our Tiki Time Luau Theme. If you are planning to re-enroll your child at Citron for the 2011/2012 school year, please complete the re-enrollment packet which you will receive via mail by the end of the month.  If you have a currently un-enrolled sibling child that you would like us to consider for enrollment in the 2011/2012 school year, please stop by the admissions office for a new student packet. Please return your enrollment contracts by February 25th along with your 10% deposit. If we make our goal this year and all of the children complete their re-enrollment paperwork Mrs. Douglas has agreed to teach the kids how to dance the Hula in full Hawaiian costume at an assembly on March 4th. All of the kids and staff will join in the Fun Fridays beginning this week with Husky Pup Pride.

We look forward to welcoming your family to another amazing year at Citron.

Ms. Sheila Rafat

Permanent Impressions – Safety I.D Kit

Permanent Impressions is a child safety company that offers a child safety packet and is formatted specifically for the Department of Justice database and local authorities. There will be a law enforcement representative on campus next week on January 26th to administer the fingerprint and deliver the packets.

If you no longer have the sign up form there are extra in the lobby. Please not that they can not process packets without a complete payment. All proceeds benefit Ca. Police Youth Charities.

Food Drive Update

During the month of November our campus held a food drive during the period of 11/8 – 11/23 for the fight against hunger. The Second Harvest Food Bank sent our campus a letter thanking everyone who contributed to the organization. Thanks to everyone’s generosity we were able to collect 6 large barrels that totaled an amount of 730 pounds. Great job Citron!

It is my hope that someday I can be a permanent member of the Fairmont family.” In her free time, Blaire enjoys reading, cooking, shopping, and spending time with her family.
