Fairmont Historic Anaheim Sweeps Junior High Pentathlon
|
In April, nine students in 7th grade and nine students in 8th grade descended Westminster High School for the Orange County Academic Pentathlon. These 18 students competed in science, language and literature, social science, fine arts, and math. Additionally, all of the students competed in Super Quiz.
This week, the students finally had a chance to see their results. Competing in the highly competitive Division 1, the students had a great showing! Both the 7th and 8th grade teams took home the first-place overall team award and first place in Super Quiz. Additionally, the students took home 80 individual awards.
Of course, none of this would be possible without their wonderful pentathlon coaches: John Briner (science), Beverly Debreczeni (8th grade language and literature), Alena Hallack (social science), Becky Lugo (fine arts), Michelle Paraiso (math), and Donna Riley (7th grade language and literature).

 At each workshop, students will share their love of books and reading with each other through both independent reading and literary-based games and activities. In addition to reading, they will hone their creative writing skills by composing book reviews and recommendations in a variety of fun and interesting ways, including crafting alternate endings to their favorite stories and writing postcards from characters' points of view.
Students will be part of a fun and safe online community in which they can explore new books and share their favorites with friends. Additionally, they will step outside of their books with fun activities that might include exploring a book-tasting menu, going on an Amazing Literacy Race, solving a crime scene mystery, or using their critical-thinking skills to free themselves from an Escape Room. Activities will differ in each session, so students who want to double their fun can enroll in both sessions.

Health 2 Students Learn from Strength and Conditioning Trainers
 Battle ropes, spin class, cardio box --- oh, it's our fourth-period Health 2 course. Health 2 is a new course on campus composed of science-based workouts, in-class discussions, and student-led projects. Participants learn about human anatomy, musculature, and how to live healthy lifestyles.
As part of this course, students had the opportunity to train with two trainers from PIII Strength and Conditioning. Andre Ponce and Diego Ponce visited Fairmont Prep on Wednesday, May 9, for a 45-minute training demo and then a Q&A session. The students did an amazing job working out through the training demo and were excited to ask questions about the industry.
Andre and Diego currently train two Fairmont students at their gym and love to work with teenagers and adults. Learn more about PIII Strength and Conditioning on its Facebook page.
