The end of January means a new set of Wildcat Leaders! These students were nominated by their teachers for demonstrating positive behavior, strong attendance, and a great work ethic. 🐾

Here are some pictures from our Wildcat Leader Parade. Shoutout to Miss Brown’s 4th grade class for having whiteboard messages to congratulate the winners. 😊

Another Friday in the books means another group of THINK Ticket winners! We are proud of you!

Good evening, Wildcats! Tomorrow will be an e-learning day, so there will be no in-person school. Students will have their iPad to join their teacher for instruction. Please check with your student’s teacher if you have questions about the schedule or assignments.

We hope everyone stays safe!

We are SO proud of these 4th graders for having the winning projects from Fairview for the Maker Challenge! The Maker Challenge had students use recyclable materials to design a product that would have a positive impact on the environment! These students were honored tonight at Bloomington High School South with other winners from the district.

“Plant-o-Matic” - Best Product that is Reused to Make Less Waste (Zakaree, Jaden, and Mason)

“Shrek Shredder” - Best New Product that is Created to Solve an Environmental Concern (Jovi, Jasi, Kassey, and Ellie)

“Tree Planter 3000” - Best Product that Improves on a Negative Environmental Impact (Madyson, Dakota, and Levi)

Age is only a number! We sure had fun celebrating the 100th day of school as 100 year olds! 👵🏽👴🏻

Did you know that CCB Counseling has been providing to children at Fairview Elementary School since 2014. Thanks to Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County Community Impact Grant this program will continue to deliver onsite, trauma-informed mental health therapy services for children, decreasing barriers to access - such as transportation - by treating children during their school day at free or low-cost. Thank you Community Foundation for helping us impact our community with quality mental health care for kids!

🪘 The World Music class was absolutely wonderful tonight! We are so proud of their hard work and confidence up on the stage!

🪘 Thank you to the City of Bloomington’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Commission for the invitation!

🪘 Just a reminder! Even though we do not have school today, our World Music class will be performing during the 2023 City of Bloomington Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration. The celebration begins with a reception at 6:00 and the program begins at 7:00. The event is free of charge and will take place at the Buskirk Chumley Theater!

Another awesome group of THINK Ticket winners to finish out the week! Great job making positive choices! 🐾

Just a reminder: We do not have school on Monday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday. We will see everyone on Tuesday!

We are so fortunate to benefit from a wonderful opportunity provided by the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County. This evening, Catholic Charities Bloomington Counseling Services was awarded a Community Impact Grant that will directly benefit our students and families. The following excerpt was shared by the Community Foundation and explains how the grant will impact our school.

“Catholic Charities Bloomington Counseling Services to fund 800 Child Therapy Program sessions at Fairview Elementary School. – This evidenced-based therapy program increases the accessibility of mental health care for children experiencing poverty, food and housing scarcity, and generational trauma. By decreasing family barriers such as travel or after-work appointments, this school-embedded program, combined with at-home techniques for parents, serves as a preventative tool to address trauma and prevent future cycles of poverty.”

A huge thank you to both of these tremendous organizations!

Our World Music class (featured below) will have the opportunity to perform during the 2023 City of Bloomington Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration on Monday, January 16th. The celebration begins with a reception at 6:00 and the program begins at 7:00. The event is free of charge and will take place at the Buskirk Chumley Theater! 🥁

🐾 School resumes on Tuesday, January 3rd!

For the first two weeks between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break, we gave each student a ticket into a raffle for every day they attended school and arrived on time! The winners of the raffle would get a free turkey for their family at the holidays. Here are two of our eight winners!

Big thank you to HoneyBaked Ham - Bloomington, IN and our Fairview PTO for putting on this incentive!

We all had a BOUNCING good time today! The students worked so hard all semester to earn 1,000 Pawsome tickets! Pawsome tickets can be given by any staff member who is not the teacher of that classroom when the whole class is demonstrating positive behavior.

Our last group of THINK Ticket winners for 2022! We are so proud of you! 🐾
