This year for Veterans Day the students and families of Fairview School District honored Veterans both known and unknown to them with a field of flags displayed outside of Fairview Middle School. Thank you to all the families who supported this recognition with flag purchases and donations. Your efforts raised a $600 donation for the Pennsylvania Soldiers' and Sailors' located here in Erie. Another thank you to the moms who gave their time and effort in support to this much deserved recognition. To those Veterans remembered in our field of flags, and to all Veterans far and wide, we thank you for your service and your sacrifice not only on Veterans Day, but every day.

Mrs. Iapalucci's Honors English IV classes recently wrote archetypal analyses using the Aristotelian argument structure. They presented their arguments to their classmates, who then voted on which students used the structure most effectively. In period 3, students liked Maddie Weber's the most; she showed how widely different movies and television shows from all genres, such as Spiderman and Gilmore Girls, rely on the coming-of-age situational archetype. Period 4 voted for Micah Humes' essay; he argued how, in The Office, Michael Scott's unchallenged and inappropriate behavior as an archetypal leader proves how toxic work environments can easily arise and harm the people who work in them. Students also enjoyed the presentations by Sofia Ortiz, Olivia DiGello, Grace Goodelle, Piran Jeffery, and Ella Knight!
