Fairmont Area Schools

Yesterday morning we were thrilled with all of the 3rd grade students and special adults who enjoyed breakfast and playing math games at “Start with STEM!” It felt as if everyone really had a great time! 😉 Visit Fairmont Area ECFE on Facebook for more pictures.

Good Luck to Addison Lintelman as she competes in the Minnesota Weightlifting State Tournament on Saturday, March 7th!

SCHOOL CALENDAR REMINDER

Karson's Heart Screening is coming to Fairmont by "Screening America" Monday, April 13, 2026. The screening is for Fairmont School District students and adults, ages 11 - 34. Paid for by the Karson Kent Janssen Memorial Fund.

Karson was a 2020 MCW graduate. He was very active in sports, FFA and other activities, and was in very good health. On November 11, 2021, Karson passed away from myxomatous degeneration of the heart. He played basketball the night before and had no symptoms. He went into sudden cardiac arrest and passed away at the U of MN. His family and community started the Karson Kent Janssen Memorial Fund in his honor to bring awareness to the lifesaving importance of heart screenings. This tragedy could have been prevented had any prior screenings been done.

Please take advantage of this great opportunity by clicking this Heart Screenings link.

Public Schools Week 2026 is here! 🎉
Public Schools Week is a reminder that public education is about more than buildings or classrooms—it’s about people.
Public education represents opportunity, belonging, and the shared commitment to ensure every child has the chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
It is made possible by the dedication of our teachers and staff who inspire students each day, and by the families and caregivers who support and champion their children’s education.
Join us as we celebrate the people, partnerships, and possibilities that make public schools the heart of our community. ❤️
¡La Semana de las Escuelas Públicas 2026 ya está aquí! 🎉
La Semana de las Escuelas Públicas nos recuerda que la educación pública es más que edificios o salones de clase: se trata de las personas.
La educación pública representa oportunidades, inclusión y el compromiso compartido de garantizar que cada niño/a tenga la oportunidad de aprender, crecer y tener éxito.
Esto es posible gracias a la dedicación de nuestros maestros y del personal que inspiran a los estudiantes cada día, y a las familias y cuidadores que apoyan y promueven la educación de sus hijos.
Acompáñenos mientras celebramos a las personas, las colaboraciones y las posibilidades que hacen de las escuelas públicas el corazón de nuestra comunidad. ❤️
