The 66th Annual California State Science Fair was the final science event of the academic year for students throughout California in grades 6th through 12th. It was held at the California Science Center in Los Angeles in April. A total of 927 students and 814 projects from 400 schools throughout the state participated. Hitakshi S. and Harishri S. took first place team (and 3rd and 7th place speaker) award at this weekend's Middle School Tournament of Champions Debate Tournament (TOC) at the University of Kentucky. The tournament had 120 students (60 teams) from around the world competing.
While the TOC has been going on for nearly four decades, this is the first time they had a middle school division: Fairmont is the inaugural champion. It also marks the fourth time in four years that a Fairmont North Tustin team took first place at a travel debate tournament.

"Only a life lived for others is worth living." - Albert Einstein
Members of the National Junior Honors Society from the Fairmont North Tustin Campus put action to Albert Einstein's words. On Saturday, May 13, they supported the 13th Annual Destination Independence 5K Walk to benefit their neighbor Blind Children's Learning Center. For more than 55 years, the center has provided specialized education for children who are blind or visually impaired. Fairmont students raised more than $1,000, in addition to jumping in as volunteers at the event.
