In honor of next week's National Library Week, here are a few words from Mrs. Kuka, Historic Anaheim Librarian:
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." -Groucho Marx
I love to read! And I love being surrounded by books. As I was growing up, my dad was always reading, and my mom worked in both college and public libraries. I was surrounded by books. I've been an avid reader all of my life and love the adventures that carry me away in a good book. At my house, if the dinner was overcooked my children would tease me by saying, "Mom must be reading a good book!" Our school's library has many great books, old and new, and I try to read as many as possible. If you have never visited our remodeled HAC library, stop by and take a peek. It's the happiest place on campus!

NJHS Fundraiser for Orangewood
Please join NJHS in their support of Orangewood Foundation, a local nonprofit organization in Santa Ana. Many of the youth are teenagers preparing to transition from the foster care system to adulthood. This foundation aims to teach these young adults life skills. Because the foundation houses so many children, they lack simple items needed in a household. Please help NJHS donate some basic housing supplies such as canned goods and toiletries. Every bit helps. For more details, please contact Mrs. Debreczeni or Mr. Ickes. Donations can be delivered to the front office, room 77, or room 81. NJHS thanks you for your contribution!

Summer Hosting Opportunities
This summer, Fairmont anticipates welcoming a record number of students from our Chinese and Korean partner schools. We are actively looking for Fairmont families willing to host these students. It is a wonderful opportunity for your family to learn about a different culture and share our own. The majority of the students will arrive in the beginning of July and depart at the end of the first week in August (tentatively July 1 to August 3).
These students are in high school and will attend school at Fairmont Preparatory Academy and will be able to take Fairmont t
ransportation. We also have junior high students coming for one to two weeks who will also attend classes at Fairmont Prep.
In addition, we are expecting at least one group of
elementary students who will be at the Anaheim Hills
Campus. These students are expected to arrive in late July for two or three weeks. If you are interested in hosting, please contact Andrea Cribbs by email or phone at 714-234-2730. We invite you to attend an upcoming information night! The next one will be Thursday, April 20, at 6:00 pm in the Historic Anaheim Campus library. RSVP today on our website!

On Friday, March 31, Fairmont Prep Film and Visual Arts students journeyed to WonderCon, a three-day celebration of film, animation, comics, games, and pop culture at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Students were able to attend panels that featured members and casts of film and television industries and learned valuable insights into the production process of films and television shows, such as Logan, Riverdale, and Prison Break. For example, students attending the Logan panel were able to meet and ask questions of the film's production designer, François Audouy, and pre-visualization supervisor Clint Reagan. One student, junior Rowland Z., attended a panel on writing for film, and said of the experience, "I feel like next time I write a story I will be thinking about [the panel] and utilizing my tools to make my story writing better."
Students could also walk around the exhibit hall floor, which featured toys, games, posters, merchandise, and especially art centered around pop culture. Most students' favorite part of the floor was Artist's Alley, where many professional and semi-professional artists displayed their talent and served as an inspiration for art and film students alike. Sophomore Sarah H. said of Artist's Alley, "so much of the art there was so beautiful and original, depicting comic characters in a new light." Overall, the convention was a valuable experience that opened many students' eyes to the staggering impact that art and film have on society.
