The Erie Experience classes took a true tour of Erie this past week. The trip started at Smith’s Provision, a locally owned, family business, with a tour by Emily Weber. Emily is the Purchasing Director at Smith’s and operates the business with her uncle (3rd generation) and 3 sisters (4th generation). The class had lunch at Fairview-owned and operated, Donatos on West 8th Street, followed by another local favorite for dessert, Romolos. The afternoon concluded with a scavenger hunt at Frontier Park. Learning and a fun were had by all!

FES has been so lucky to have had the ladies from the Fairview Garden Club come in for the last 26 years to show and help the 2nd graders plant a flower for their moms for Mother's Day. While they think that they are just planting a flower to take home to mom, they are actually learning about the flower, the soil, and what the flowers need in order to thrive. Thank you to the wonderful ladies from the Fairview Garden Club for your dedication to our 2nd-grade students.

Another amazing experience with a guest speaker for AP Spanish & Culture as we head into exam weeks. Gracias a Jan Stillfried, who spoke to us straight from Santiago, Chile about cultural topics of all sorts, as usual almost all in Spanish.
