Many thanks to the middle school families who joined us for service projects at Family Engagement Night last Thursday. Families made cards for members of our community, created birthday cake boxes, made dog toys for local shelters, and assembled welcome bags for new FMS students. It was wonderful to share the evening with you! Thank you also to our high school volunteers who helped with the night, and our amazing staff members who planned our evening, gathered supplies, and organized the events. It was a great night serving our community together!

FCSD buses will be returning to normal routes on Friday, December 5th. Thank you for your patience during the winter weather we had recently. We definitely keep your student's safety in mind.

Don't forget! Tomorrow - Thursday, December 4 - is Family Engagement Night at the Middle School. Come for a meal and to complete some service activities for our community.

We're excited to see you! 5-7 at FMS

What happens when you show up to school? We celebrate! Between our October and November assemblies at FMS, we tracked attendance by Trojan Time to see who was here at school the most. Mrs. Lyon's Trojan Time crushed the challenge, collectively missing less than 3 days as a group for an attendance rate of 98%. In fact, most of them were at school every day of those 3 weeks! They got to choose how they celebrated and decided on some delicious breakfast pizza to start their Monday. Great work, middle schoolers!

We’re excited to share the first edition of the Trojan Times, the Fairfield Community School District’s community-wide newsletter!

A message from Mr. Wigle:

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Tai Ward and Deborah Williamson for their dedicated service to the Fairfield Community School District Board of Directors.

Tai is a diehard Trojan. He loves the people of this community and has spent countless hours serving the staff and students of our district. When I came in as a new superintendent, Tai was our board president, and he was incredible to work with—steady, thoughtful, and deeply committed to doing what is best for Fairfield. Throughout his time on the board, Tai helped navigate many challenging situations, always keeping students at the center of every decision and working to create better opportunities for our kids. Thank you, Tai!

Deborah has a heart bigger than anyone I have ever worked with and finds countless ways to give back to Fairfield. Her desire to make a lasting and meaningful impact on our schools will not be forgotten. Deborah, thank you for your time, your heart, and your unwavering dedication to the Fairfield Schools. It has truly been a privilege to serve alongside you.

On behalf of our entire district, we are grateful for the leadership, compassion, and commitment both Tai and Deborah have given to Fairfield. Their service leaves a lasting legacy for our students, staff, and community.
