FHS Senior Elijah H. received his Eagle Scout Badge in July 2017. This is a significant accomplishment which involves hard work and dedication.
Elijah had his Eagle Board of Review at St. Vincent de Paul Parrish where he became an official Eagle Scout. The Eagle ceremony will be in October. To become an Eagle Scout, one must earn a total of 21 Merit Badges - Elijah earned 41. For his project, Elijah and two fellow scouts worked during the summer at the Fire Station and Police Station when they dug up old shrubs and planted new shrubs and flowers. Then they placed statues honoring firemen and policemen. The main purpose of an Eagle Project is to show leadership in all areas from fundraising to recruiting help and leading the volunteers in the jobs that need to be accomplished. Elijah is now in his 2nd year of the Polaris program and attending Tri-C for his firefighter/EMT certification.
Congratulations to Elijah for a job well done! - From Mary Moore
This AWESOME "See something, say something" moment was created by Jannah A. This a student who is new to FHS and does not speak English. I asked her to translate and produce a paper on her "dream job" and then research the qualities and requirements of the job. She chose "decorative engineer," or interior designer, and it's safe to say I was incredibly impressed with the work produced. This is a cool example of what can be accomplished with an attitude like Jannah's! - From Grant Graves
There is always good news to report! Alexis F. has been accepted as a violinist for the 2017 Northeast Regional Orchestra through the Ohio Music Educators Association. She was one of 30 violinists selected to perform from the northeast region. She auditioned back in May and we just found out she made it in! Very exciting! The concert is in November at Ohio State University. - From Hillery Needham
Excerpt from a parent email, referencing last year's 9th grade team as well as this year's back-to-school night:
"I want to add she did amazing last year. All of the teachers are just so understanding and have such open arms, as well as a positive outlook on the year. I like this group of teachers because it seems like they really want one on one time more one-on-one time with the students and I love that positive experience all around today. I'm so happy we have the opportunity to go to open house. I love being able to be connected with the teachers in my daughter's learning path and schedule for the year. I'm very happy to be part of Fairview!" - From Mary Cory

My mentoring group worked together and came up with some great ideas for the Texas fundraising...they expressed so much emotion and concern for those struggling in Houston. It was heartwarming to see students share these emotions with each other. - From Becky Hicks
A HUGE shout out to Mr. Tom Bryner (one of the smartest people I know!). He took the initiative without being asked (but after observing my failed attempts and the the pile of broken plastic and cardboard in the parking lot below my window!) to make and install a plexiglass cover for my window that my air conditioner can vent out of. Thanks Tom, you're an angel! - From Colleen Sliwinski
My Drama class did their first group scene work and they did a great job! My film class has 22 kids and they have all been engaged in all conversations so far. Good way to end the week! - From Craig Cohan
