Each week through this year we will recognize several of our students through our "Warrior of the Week" award. Students receive this award for displaying effort that goes above-and-beyond our expectations -- reflecting their drive to achieve personal and academic growth. This week's Warriors of the Week are:
6th
Brigid G.
Brigid comes to class daily with her materials and always has a positive attitude. She is also helpful and considerate of others when they do not understand something. She is always willing to take the time to help.
Connor G.
Conner is always eager to learn something new no matter how much time it takes. He is willing to work hard to figure out a solution and is also willing to teach others.
7th
Abdallah D. and Yousef D.
Abdallah and Yousef are both Warriors of the Week for their hard work and positive attitudes! They are kind to all they meet and work well with everyone. Yousef and Abdallah ask great questions when they need help, but are also persistent when trying to solve problems on their own.
8th
Liam C.
Liam is an all around great kid. He listens, respects, understands and appreciates.
Cadence R.
Cadence is a joy to have in school - she is always prepared for class, works diligently, and is respectful and kind. She is always ready to help, and for that, we thank you Cadence!

Fairview Park PTA Council Reflections Art Program
|
The Ohio PTA, through National PTA, holds an annual cultural arts program, Reflections. Children in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit original works of art in six areas: literature, visual arts, photography, dance choreography, film production and music composition. The Reflections program allows PTAs throughout the state to recognize children for their creativity as they reflect on the yearly theme. Teachers, parents, children and community can get involved in enhancing arts education though the Reflections program. The Reflections Program is one of the best examples of the PTA's ability to bring out the best in our youth. PTA strongly supports education in the arts. It is about creating educational excitement and involvement within our schools between parents, teachers and o
ur kids.
Students can enter Reflections® in the following grade divisions - Primary: preschool-grade 2, Intermediate: grades 3-5, Middle/Junior: grades 6-8 and Senior: grades 9-12. They may submit works in any of the six arts areas: Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual arts, Dance Choreography, and Film Production. Special Artists can submit entries in any category. Our Reflections program begins at the local level, advances to PTA Council level, then to State for judging. The State winners of the Award of Excellence are then advanced to National PTA.
This year's theme is " Heroes Around Me." All students that wish to participate in the Reflections Art Program need to fill out the entry form and return it along with their original artwork to their school office by November 1, 2018. All participants will be invited to an Art Show to view the masterpieces created in January. Questions can be emailed to Angie Cause at angiekleincause@yahoo.com. Good luck!

Ask Carrie...
Hi FPCS families! Next week is the end of the first quarter already. I hope that your child is on track to having a successful school year. If the grades aren't up to par, may I suggest:
1) Every night (Mon-Thur) your student should have a homework time (between 4 p.m.-8 p.m.) where they can finish up some work, study, read, etc.
2) Make sure your child has a good study area with no distractions and electronics put away.
3) Your child should be getting around 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
4) If your child is struggling, they should talk with their teacher (5-12 grade) to let them know. If you have any concerns, call/email their teacher. If concerns continue, call/email their counselor.
Please email me a question you have regarding things going on at school, parenting, etc... then I will share the answer next week. You know that you are not alone and other parents may have the same concern/question.
