Preschool Visits with Mobile Tide Pools

Highlights From This Week
North Tustin 3rd Grades Visit the Environmental Nature Center 

This Tuesday, North Tustin third graders embarked on a brand new field trip to ENC (Environmental Nature Center) in Newport Beach. When we arrived, we were welcomed by three naturalists and students were divided into three different fauna groups: Coyotes, Bobcats & Hawks. Students traveled to six different hands-on activities on the gorgeous ENC property, which spanned a couple of acres behind the facility. Although we were a little cold with the cloud coverage, being outdoors was a fresh change to their traditional classroom environment.  

All the interactive games/lessons the ENC prepared reinforced our Science curriculum perfectly. Students learned about adaptation for plants and animals, but especially about the local cougar that can be found in Southern California. Students also learned how humans have drastically changed the environment and how we can help protect and preserve the environment/animals around us. This was a field trip the students will never forget.

BOOK REPORT and then it's spring

Waiting around for spring is kind of like waiting for water to boil or the mail to come or your favorite aunt to come over for a visit.  Except that here in Southern California we have weather that seems almost like spring all year long. We're blessed with the mildest of winters, still there's something amazing about the first buds of springtime. That's what Julie Fogliano's book, And Then It's Spring, is all about.  The waiting...and the joy when spring shows up.  

In the story, a boy and his dog have had enough of the brown of winter and decide to do something about it. They plant a garden, seed by seed. Then, they and their animal friends wait, and wait, and wait to see what happens. The story is simple but made poignant by the distinctive illustrations of Erin E. Stead, recipient of the 2011 Caldecott Medal.  This award-winning book teaches patience and perseverance and it connects children with the comforting rhythm of the seasons.

It's the perfect prelude to starting a spring garden of your own!

SCHOOL NEWS fairmont basketball has a slam dunk season


Fairmont is known for its basketball program at both the elementary/junior high and high school levels. This year was no exception, with our campus teams dominating in games throughout the season. 


At the elementary level, our teams compete in the Developmental Sports League (DSL) against local private schools. All six of our campus teams played extremely well and two campuses made it to the playoffs. In the end, our Historic Anaheim Lady Panthers took the win and finished the season as Undefeated League Champions! 


At the junior high level, Fairmont's teams compete in the Tri-Way Sports League against other private schools. This was an exceptional year for our Tri-Way teams, with all of our teams making it to the playoffs! The Historic Anaheim Campus Boys' Team made it all the way to the Finals and finished the season as Undefeated League Champions for the second year in a row! 


In high school, Fairmont takes basketball to a whole new level. This year we welcomed a new Boys' Basketball coach, Mr. Ray Lokar. Mr. Lokar has many years of experience coaching basketball at both the high school and college level. He led our boys to victory in many games throughout the season, and our varsity team made it to the 2nd round of the league playoffs. The girls' teams continue to be coached by Mr. Dave Esparza. The girls had a winning season, securing the League Champion title and making it to the semi-finals of the CIF Playoffs! 

We would like to thank all of our coaches and students for a phenomenal season! Let's go Fairmont!

Our Anahiem Hills Preschoolers Celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday with Green Eggs and Ham

Highlights From This Week
Historic Anaheim Students Celebrate International Week 
Dish after dish of yummy, delectable food was brought into the cafeteria last Thursday morning during International Day. Each dish looked more delicious than the last - everything from eggrolls and sushi to mango lassi and Canada Dry Ginger Ale. As lunchtime grew closer, the buzz filled the hallways as students, many dressed in their native country's traditional garb, described all the different foods they would be eating shortly. When students were dismissed for lunch, they rushed to the gym to fill their plates with foods from around the world. After filling their plates, the students savored the delicacies as they ate each morsel! What a wonderful way to celebrate Fairmont's diverse culture!

SHORT STORY fairmont cheerleaders compete nationally



North Tustin Cheer Squad Takes 3rd Place in Nationals! 

In late February, our North Tustin cheer team flew to Orlando Florida to participate in the National High School Cheerleading Championship in the Youth Recreational Category, sponsored by the Universal Cheerleaders Association known as UCA.
  
The National High School Cheerleading Championship (NHSCC) is the most prestigious cheerleading championship in the country. The NHSCC is held at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida, and nationally televised on ESPN and ESPN2 to over 100 million homes and 32 countries nationwide each year.

Our team, coached by Ms. Bradley and Mrs. Yujuico, did a phenomenal job. They took the stage in front of hundreds of people and displayed confidence and energy while delivering a great routine. The coaches knew that our team would be challenged when it came to the degree of difficulty in their routine. The message they gave the girls was to work towards their strengths and to connect with the crowd. They did exactly that and it resulted in a finish making them third in the nation in a pool of seven teams. Watching our team take command of the stage was inspiring. They had such a sharp performance that it was undeniable that they deserved to be among the top teams in their category! 

Congratulations to the whole team and their coaches! Go Eagles!
