PROM: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Parents and Students, This is an announcement that affects the timing of Prom this spring. Due to a rescheduling of the Speech State Tournament by the MN State High School League, Fairmont High School has decided to move the date of Prom one week sooner to Saturday, April 22, 2023. Much consideration went into making this decision given our ability and flexibility to reschedule certain events on this date, and not being able to reschedule the Speech State Tournament that is now being held on April 29, 2023, our previous Prom date. In order to make Prom a special event for all of our students, we did not want them to have to choose between this and other culminating events in their high school lives. Thank you for understanding the change and we hope by communicating this out as soon as possible it will help with any inconvenience some individuals may encounter. We hope all who choose to attend Prom will do so in the best and safest way possible.

Special Olympics - SOFIT Program will be Tuesdays, Feb. 14th - 28th. This three-week wellness program will provide an opportunity to learn, discuss and practice physical activity, nutrition, social and emotional wellness. Register @www.fairmont.k12.mn.us/o/cer
