SUPER POPS CONCERT ON THE FHS LAWN: Saturday, May 8, 2021

This is our annual music department fundraiser and all donations go to support these talented musicians. Students should arrive 30 minutes prior to their performance time. 50/50 Raffle, drinks and some snacks (cash only) will be available for purchase from the Fairview Park Music and Theatre Association on the FHS lawn throughout the day.

We would like to create a community concert feel, so bring your lawn chairs, blankets and enjoy the day. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. We will be following Covid protocols so we ask that you wear masks and social distance. The Fairview Park Music and Theatre Association will be there with drinks and packaged snacks for purchase, as well as their awesome 50/50 raffle. Should the day involve inclement weather, we will move the event indoors to the auditorium. This will require different performing times (which we will provide once we know the status of the weather for the event). There will be only 2 guests per performer allowed, socially distanced seating.

From the Middle School/High School PTA:

Let’s face it. This school year has been weird. But we’re getting through it, in part thanks to our nation’s amazing educators. Take a moment to #ThankATeacher during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3-7

What YOU can do to help:

1) Participate in our Thank You Card Campaign!

Use your own stationery, or, here is a link to the national PTA Teacher Appreciation week page with many downloadable templates, cards and stickers.

Students can bring in thank you cards/small tokens of appreciation to those teachers and staff members they wish to thank. Parents should also consider sending in thank-yous if they feel moved to. A heartfelt “I see your hard work, and appreciate you” goes a long way.

2) Sign up to donate items for the breakfast we will provide for all teachers and staff that week! Here is the link to sign up.

Thanks in advance for making this a “feel good” week for our hard working, dedicated, talented, and devoted teachers!

MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

May Is Mental Health Awareness Month. It is time to raise awareness of those living with mental or behavioral mental health issues and to help reduce the stigma so many experience.

The Positivity Pledge is an opportunity to support mental health, depression, and suicide prevention education in middle and high schools across the country. Join us in our efforts to ensure no teen feels alone and everyone deserves good mental health.

The Positivity Pledge calendar creates an opportunity for individuals to commit to 31 days focused on positive actions, helping others, self-care, and establishing good habits for positive mental health. Examples of daily activities include spreading the love by sending a healthy snack to those in need; making a list of traits you love about yourself; and finding time for self-reflection. This is an opportunity for all of us to focus on ourselves while also working together to make the world a better place.

F.A.C.E. - FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Hello Fairview Park Families!

There is so much happening in this world of ours that it does become very overwhelming for all of us. I hope that when you or someone in your family becomes overwhelmed that you remember that resources are at your fingertips....

1) School Counseling Homepage

Lists various resources from depression, mental health, anxiety, and how to find a therapist.

2) FACE Homepage

Lists various resources from food, clothing, internet, etc.

I hope that everyone takes a look at the Positivity Pledge that begins May 1st.

This would be a great family event for the month of May for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Stay Positive and Stay Well,

Ms. Sullivan
