We are aware of a circulating Snapchat post that contains a threat of violence at a school. Although it doesn't specifically name Fairview (or any local school) we take all threats seriously. Erie Police have confirmed that the threat is a hoax that has circulated in other states in recent weeks.
Fairview School Foundation FHS April Student of the Month
During the month of April, the kindergarten classes completed multiple author studies including, Mo Willems, Laura Numeroff, and Leo Lionni. They used their works to practice making predictions, inferring, cause and effect, making connections, and comparing and contrasting stories. The children also got to try using the varying illustration techniques to create characters from the stories.
Here are some rehearsal shots of one of our two spring plays, “One Stoplight Town”, a play about a small town, not unlike Fairview, that sees new developments and puts a stoplight in the middle of town. Some think the traffic light is unnecessary as “nothing new happens in this town”, but we soon see lots of things happen if we have the eye to look for them. Come support our students in the FHS auditorium at 7:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Tickets are $3.
Students getting into the full spirit of their lab work. Katelyn Chase lab coat and all.

The Erie Experiences courses recently took a unique field trip to Presque Isle, split into three parts. The first leg of the tour was led by Brian Gorman, an Operations Executive for Waldameer. Brian gave the students a behind the scenes tour of the amusement park and waterpark focusing on the history and the evolution of the park throughout the years. The second part of the tour took us to Misery Bay and Graveyard Pond at the foot of Presque Isle. Park Rangers from PI spoke about the historic significance of the area to the War of 1812 and the unique ecology we have at Presque Isle State Park. The final stop included a delicious lunch at Sara's.

Mrs. Gruber’s students get to be teachers this week as they present their review lessons. This challenge has sparked a lot of creativity!
Today is National Administrative Assistant's Day, and we could not be any luckier than to have the 2 best ones working at FES. However, Administrative Assistant does not accurately convey what their real titles are.
At FES their actual titles are "Administrative Assistant, bow fixer, shoelace tier, dad joke listener, booboo fixer, teardrop wiper, maid, party planner, trusted confidant, lost and found, snack suppliers, babysitters, keepers of most random supplies, gatekeepers, and other duties as assigned."
We could not run our school with the 2 of them and we think every day should be Administrative Assistants Day!
The ceramic 2 students are always investigating new things. Garren Grabowski explored sculpting a cow skull, Ellie Beuscher raku fired hair onto her pottery, and Vanessa Westman figured out how to use shaving cream to marbleize underglaze onto bisque ware.
