Today, there was a gas leak detected at Washington Elementary School this morning. The staff and students were safely and immediately evacuated from the building and then moved by bus to the high school.
Alliant Energy came on site and helped to repair the leak and make sure the school was safe for staff and students to return. After returning to the school, classes resumed as normal.
Dismissals at the end of the school day will operate as regularly planned.
8th graders are designing towers that would withstand an “earthquake” simulation this week. This involved collaboration with their team as they apply science concepts and critical thinking as they test their models. Some creative designs and thoughtful planning are happening 🗼Love these types of problem solving labs and hands on activities!

Special shout out to our AEA for helping with an ability awareness overview this week. Students in 8th grade were involved in a presentation discussing neurodiversity. This describes the idea that some people’s brains work different than others and may perceive and experience the world around them in different ways.
The AEA discussed characteristics of ADHD, Autism, Smith Magenis, and Tourette’s while relating these to student experiences. Lana also presented and did a fantastic job!
Our goal is to help students understand how to interact with all people. We need to understand one another. When we have a better understanding of each other, we can find commonalities and respect for one another rather than seeing our differences!
Congrats to these amazing students for being our January Students of the Month👏

Special thanks to JCHC for taking time out of their day to provide some basic skills to some of our classes today in health and PE. Students learned basic skills in how to help someone with a wound to stop the bleeding, an overview of CPR, and careers in the health field🩺👩⚕️We are so fortunate to have amazing people in our community to do these types of things with students. And a special thank you to our teachers who made this happen! Thank you!
Fairfield Middle School Toilet Paper Week of January 30th #OneFairfield
To say I am proud of these three girls is an understatement. This past couple of months these three have led the way in organizing a newspaper team. They have done this all with their own leadership and skills. This is about finding your gifts and talents and following your passion. When I think what Leader in Me has done for our culture and students this is IT ❤️ Confidence to ask if they could put something like this together, and the leadership to organize the group and create something fantastic. I absolutely love this 📝✏️
This week they dove into live streaming our mid year assembly event. This group has organically grown and evolved into so much more than just writing a newspaper. These three have blossomed into amazing leaders and role models. We are proud of their work efforts, drive, and initiative to start something and see it through. Love this stuff!

Congrats to these Trojan pride award recipients! Stellar work and leadership!
Special thanks to our amazing Security team. They are responsible for set up and tear down of the chairs and tables, greeting visitors that come in, managing students during the assembly, and seating students. They worked hard today to pull this event off. It takes initiative, hard work, leadership, and teamwork. We are proud of you!

🎉Mid Year Celebration 🎉
Today our FMS student body celebrated student achievements! Fall and winter activities were recognized as well as leaderships positions. We are so proud of our student and staff for their amazing work.
This year we were recognized by the Iowa State Repeot card as being “high performing.” This achievement is a tremendous honor and recognition for our students, staff, district, and community. We have a lot to be thankful for and are blessed to work with the best students❤️
Congratulations! We would also like to say a special thank you to Mareyn and Taryn for hosting this event. Public speaking can be daunting to many. They spoke to over 550 people today👏 These young ladies blew us out of the water with their confidence and ability to engage the crowd today. Way to go!
Today at 2:00 PM, the Middle School will be presenting their Mid-Year Assembly. This will be live streamed by the FMS Newscast Crew and will be available on the school website or by click the following link:
