Lana was able to participate in Iowa Wesleyan's Special Olympic Unified Sports day. What a great experience! Lana did an amazing job! Way to go 👏
Melanie Carlson noticed Hermione Lebert, Dylan Brown, and Treveyon Wilson crossing Hwy 1 very safely the other day. They were making eye contact with the crossing guard, looking more than twice, following directions, being very good leaders and role models.
Melanie got them gift certificates from the Dairy Bar!
Way to go Treveyon, Dylan, and Hermione!

What a great way to end the day! Eighth graders visited the Jefferson County courthouse today for a tour and then a mock trial. This past week in social studies they were getting ready in their roles for a mock trial. We are so appreciative the students got to experience this as a live mock trial with our own newscast team, Judge Myron Gookin, lawyers, witnesses, and audience. Well done FMS students. We are so proud of you. Special thanks to our eighth grade team and Mr. Blakely for making this all happen for our students. What a wonderful experience!

❤️FMS Community Service Day❤️
And we are off! FMS students met as a whole team this morning to get a group photo and go over community day expectations. Carissa led the students this morning by reviewing why we serve and the expectations. Everyone is now headed out to serve our community who does so much for us. What a great day! Look for more pictures to come throughout the day!
Make-up Days / Last Day of School: We will be adding two days of school to the calendar to make up some snow days. Fairfield's last day of school will be Wednesday, May 31, with an early dismissal at 1:30 p.m.
Reminder students need to wear appropriate shoes and clothes that can get dirty tomorrow. FMS will be out in the community doing service projects.
What a great opportunity it was yesterday to have members of Aeron Lifestyle Technology visit with the Lift shop class.
They explained their business, the roles they play, how they became interested in engineering and the future possibilities the students could explore.
Aeron would like to make this a regular visit (at least two times if not three times a year) with the rotation of lift classes. They would like to visit Mr. Allison's class with 3d printing. Lastly they are checking to see if we could take students on a field trip to see their business and the 3d printers in action.
What a win-win for the students, business, and community👏
6th graders took an amazing field trip up to Camp Dodge this week to learn more about our military and security. Pretty awesome trip! Quite the learning experience!
