February  Due Dates  and Events

Dear Teachers,

We hope everyone is keeping warm in this frigid mid-70's winter weather. Brrr!! 

Our Petals and Pollinator's Art Exhibit during Fairchild's Chocolate Festival was a huge hit. We cannot overstate how incredible and inspiring all of your students' entries were. We are eager to see what they create for their Shade Our Schools journals!

As always, keep current by visiting our online Challenge booklet and do not hesitate to email with any questions.  VIEW THE FAIRCHILD CHALLENGE ONLINE BOOKLET NOW!

Best,
The Fairchild Challenge Team
