Congratulations to Jabin Bull for his selection and participation in this year's PMEA All State Jazz Band. Jabin was one of 5 trumpet players selected from the state of PA to participate in the Jazz Band. The All State festival was held April 22nd -25th at the Kalahari Convention Center in Poconos, PA. The event culminated with an outstanding performance from the jazz band. Jabin has now represented Fairview High School at the State Festival in three different ensembles, All State Chorus, All State Band and All State Jazz Band. Awesome job Jabin, and good luck with your future endeavors at Penn State main campus.

Is Mercyhurst University really Mercy"Cursed"? The Erie Experience classes heard tales from the past as they explored the campus of Mercyhurst University this week.

Dr. Steve Ropski, a former Gannon professor, came in to share his knowledge of bats. Honors environmental students learned more about bat behavior and the important role bats play in the ecosystem. Dr. Ropski also shared information about White Nose Syndrome, a fungal infection that has decimated bat populations. Based on surveys carried out around the Gannon campus, bat populations in that area have dropped over 99% in the last 15 years!

The Fairview Foundation sponsored an Erie Experience field trip to the "haunted" Union Station in downtown Erie. The students searched for the "spirits" in all levels of the building including the spooky basement tunnels. The trip was educational and entertaining!

24 students in Honors Photo and Honors Studio Art will exhibit their work at the 1020 Collective . Today those students got to see the gallery and plan the space and then heard from curators at the Erie Art Museum. They learned about the many considerations put into hanging a professional show. They will bring that knowledge back to FHS and start preparing their own work for exhibition. We hope to see you at our opening night on May 16th!

The high school's Speech & Debate Team brought its success to FES today, presenting their 1st place school state victory at the Bloomsburg tournament to kindergarten classes. Students learned about Speech & Debate and had a great time engaging with the presentation.

Storytelling state champion Varunan Senthil, accompanied by club officer and Persuasive state champion Kashyup Aaluri, led the educational and humorous presentation. Varunan retold "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs", offering the wolf's interpretation of a simple misunderstanding, much to the delight of the audience.

Congratulations to the Speech & Debate team on their 1st place achievement at states and thank you to FES for being the perfect audience for this speech!
