FHS Students Participate in Cleveland's Youth Sustainability Leadership Program
Six Fairview High School students were part of a group of only 50 students selected by the City of Cleveland's  Department of Sustainability  to be part of this year's  Youth Sustainability Leadership Program  (YSLP) and were invited to attend the Sustainable Cleveland (SC2019) Summit on September 28 in downtown Cleveland. Their participation was made possible through generous funding from The Cleveland Foundation and RTA.

A Successful Homecoming 2017 - "East to West, Fairview's Best"
Congratulations to the Senior Girls' Powderpuff Team, Class of 2018, on their 14-12 win over the Junior Girls' Team on Thursday night.  A special thanks to Coach Latkovic for providing the officials, the boys who served on the "chain gang," Tyler D.and Andrew S. for manning the press box, and a HUGE thanks to all who supported the Fairview Hunger Center with donations at the gate.
 
The parade stepped off from Gilles-Sweet at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.  All four classes created original, outstanding floats based on four US cities.  Thank you to our panel of judges, who had a difficult task.  Results are:
First place and bragging rights - Class of 2019 - Honolulu
Second place - Class of 2018 - Cleveland
Third place - Class of 2020 - Las Vegas
Fourth place - Class of 2021 - Hollywood

Finally, 393 students attended the Homecoming Dance on a very warm Saturday night.  Many thanks to all who made the dance possible - PTA members for supervising the refreshments and coat room, Student Council members for decorating the gym, class advisors and Mr. Vicha for supervising the dance, and Mr. Frantz for cleaning up.

*** NEW DATE FOR SENIOR CLASS MEETING & ORDERING ***
The annual Senior Class meeting will be held in the auditorium during 3rd period on January 29, 2018 to go over details for ordering Commencement items. The Jostens representative will present information about cap and gown, graduation announcements, etc. Students will receive a packet containing a brochure and order form. Jostens will be back taking orders on February 2 & 16 between 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.  Be sure to get your orders in before February 20, 2018 as the cost of cap and gown doubles after that date.
