The next sweet treat day will be Thursday, October 5. See our Krispy Kreme flyer for more information.

The next FPA meeting will be held in the library at 8:30 am on Thursday, October 5. There will also be gently worn uniforms sold on this day.

Friday, October 6, is Superhero Spirit Day. All students are released at 12:00 pm, and please remember that the parent pick up lines will be long! Please be patient with our students, teachers, and staff members on this day, as it is a high-stress time for everyone. It is advisable to wait until 12:20 pm to get into line, as there should be a short wait at that time. Please note that there is no early pick-up for our junior kindergarten through 2nd grade students. Parent pick-up for all grades begins at 12:00 pm and runs until 12:30 pm. Additionally, any student who will be going home with a friend or somebody not on the student's emergency card will need to have a note or phone call to the front office authorizing this additional person to pick up the student.

Once again, our National Junior Honor Society is participating in Socktober. In celebration of Socktober, students may wear any of the fun We Help Two socks during the month of October in place of their regular uniform socks. For every 80 sock packs sold, We Help Two will provide a leg to an amputee through its partner clinics around the world! In addition, for each pack of socks sold, We Help Two will donate a pair of socks to Caterina's Club, where they will be distributed to motel children living in Anaheim, California.

Thank you to all of those who contributed to last year's campaign; Fairmont was able to provide three legs to amputees in Mexico, Ethiopia, and Liberia. This year, please take a moment to help us play a small part in giving hope to homeless children and amputees around the world. Together we can make a difference, one step at a time.

To order, please visit our We Help Two page. 

The Socktober campaign ends October 7.

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 various Shadow Day options throughout October and early November. You can access more information by downloading our informational flyer, which includes the required permission slip, and you may  register online.

Save the date! The Halloween Haunt is coming on Friday, October 27! The event is such a fun night of games, food, and fun! Mark the date today, and look for presale flyers coming out soon!

Have you started thinking about college? It's never too early to begin planning for the future. 

Is your child interested in attending a top 100 college or university? What about a top research university or a small liberal arts college? What schools have strong programs for the major your child is considering? Just how tough is it to get into a great college and what about financial aid? 

If you're starting to ask yourself questions about finding and preparing for the right college, you don't want to miss Fairmont Preparatory Academy's 14th annual Fall Open House & College Fair on Tuesday, October 10, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm! RSVP today!
