Fairmont Celebrates Halloween
Halloween celebrations at Historic Anaheim began last week as the 7th grade students participated in their pumpkin lab. Students brought in pumpkins to see if their sizes correlated to how many pumpkin seeds are inside of them. Curious? Find a junior high student to see what their findings were, or check out our blog post about the lab.

Those pumpkins then became decorations for the wonderful Halloween Haunt that was thrown by our FPA for all of our families. Students came dressed in their costumes and jumped in the bouncy houses, tried their hands at various games of skill, and ate yummy food! There was even an area for our littlest students. The best part of the Halloween Haunt is having our junior high students run the "Little Goblins" area and the carnival games. It is so fun to see our eldest students interacting with their younger peers.

After three days of rest, the festivities resumed on Tuesday. Our preschool through 2nd grade students participated in parades throughout the morning, and all of the classrooms also held Halloween parties throughout the day. Halloween is always such a festive time around the Historic Anaheim Campus! It is so great to see all of the wonderful, inventive costumes and also to see all of the students having such a wonderfully spooky time!

Community Outreach: Operation Candy
The first FPA community outreach event is underway! Please bring in all of your unwanted Halloween candy, and place it in the collection box located in your homeroom. This candy will be distributed to troops overseas through Operation Gratitude, an organization that provides care packages for U.S. military members.

Additionally, we would love the students to write letters to the troops that we can include with the candy. The first class to fill up its box will win a $50 gift card for classroom supplies and a pizza party! Candy will be collected until November 6. At that time, the class with the most candy (by weight) will receive a $100 gift card for school supplies, and the runner-up will receive a $50 gift card!

Junior High Shadow Days at Fairmont Prep
In order for your child to better understand what an average day is like at Fairmont Prep, we encourage you to schedule a Shadow Day for him or her. Accompanied by one of Fairmont Prep's outstanding student ambassadors, your student will sit in on classes in his or her area of interest and spend time with peers to hear about day-to-day life at Fairmont Prep. Transportation to and from the junior high campus will be provided, and lunch will also be provided. Permission slips must be turned in to your campus assistant director at least four days before the scheduled Shadow Day, and your student will need to wear his or her regular required uniform on this day. We have one more Shadow Day next week on Monday, November 6. You can access more information by downloading our informational flyer, which includes the required permission slip. Please see your assistant campus director to sign up.
