Junior High Shadow Days at Fairmont Prep
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. Please see your assistant director to sign up.
Socktober
This month, the National Junior Honor Society is holding a fundraiser for Socktober.
We Help Two is an organization that gives prosthetic limbs to amputees or people who were born without limbs. For every 40 pairs of socks that you purchase, We Help Two will provide a limb for one person.
You can order socks today on the order forms your child received in homeroom, or you can visit our
We Help Two page to donate. Please make checks payable to We Help Two.
All month long, your student can wear these socks with his or her uniform.

Student Spotlight: Nadia A.
North Tustin 7th grader Nadia A. was named a
Top 300 Broadcom MASTER last month in the competitive STEM competition. Nadia was nominated for the competition after placing second at the Orange County Science Fair in her category and also won four special awards for her science project on water filtration.
"I used tree branches to filter bacteria out of water," Nadia said of her project. "This allows for a low-cost solution to a major issue of contaminated water."
Nadia chose her project after learning about recent water crises.
"Water is a basic necessity, and water-borne illnesses are the leading cause of death in children in the world," Nadia explained.
Though Nadia did not proceed on to the finals (a list of top 30 applicants) of the Broadcom MASTERS, she is thankful to be included in the top 300 out of the 6,000 nominees that competed.
"It's a huge honor to be named a semifinalist," Nadia said. "Being a semifinalist gave me encouragement that others saw the potential impact of my project, and I am determined to keep working on improving my filter design."
