Kari Duehlmeyer and Andy Traetow, representing Fairmont Elementary, received a generous grant from 3M which has allowed Fairmont Elementary to purchase items going into the up and coming Makerspace. The purchase of a SMART Board TV was possible with this grant along with a few other hands-on materials. Employees of 3M were thrilled to see the progress so far in the creating of the Makerspace/STEM space and excited to see future projects!
Superintendent Joe Brown and Guidance Counselor Scott Geerdes took a group of Fairmont High School students to Mason City, IA for this great learning opportunity today!
We want to get the word out about a small change in our December ECFE calendar. Our Special Saturday Holiday event planned for Dec. 14th has been changed to Tuesday, Dec. 17th. The event will be from 5:30-7pm. It will be the same activities and plans we had for the special Saturday event, except since it will be in the evening there will be a supper meal instead of a light breakfast. Santa will be there!!! It is $5/family. Families who attend our regular Tuesday evening ECFE class will get in for free. Families with a pass to our Family Fun Nights can use their pass to attend. Please let us know if you have any questions.😊
Fun on Mickey Mouse day with Mrs. Walters and her class.
ECFE was blessed by some women at the United Methodist Church in Fairmont. They made and donated these adorable activity quilts. They will be used in our Early Childhood program at home visits and during infant class. Thank you very much!!
We are also very thankful for the generous donation from the ECFE Parent Advisory Board which paid for 1/2 of our new Culligan filtered water system and water dispenser. We utilize it daily and have noticed how helpful it has been to our Early Childhood Program. Thanks so much!!
We are grateful this week to announce that some thoughtful supporters of ECFE have offered to provide 4 sponsorships for Session 2 of our Infant Class. Session 2 begins on Wednesday, January 8, 2020 and meets from 5:30-6:30pm for 6 weeks. If you would like to attend our evening ECFE infant class and need help with the class fee in order to do so, please stop in the Fairmont Elementary School Office to talk to Kari or Sarah in the Main Office. Just mention you heard about the sponsorships and would like to register for class.
Congratulations to our Diaper Drawing winner, Erica Berhow! She registered for the second session of our evening infant class and won our drawing for a free box of diapers sponsored by the ECFE Parent Advisory Board.
