District Update December 2024

Superintendent's Message

Dear Fairview Community,

As we enter the final month of the year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the achievements, challenges, and growth we have shared as a community. December is not just a time for closing out the calendar year but also for celebrating the progress we’ve made together.

This school year has already been filled with moments of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. From everyday acts of kindness and perseverance displayed by our students and staff, I am continually reminded of the strength and unity within our schools.

The holiday season offers a special opportunity to express gratitude. I am thankful for the dedication of our teachers and staff, the support of our families, and the curiosity and resilience of our students. Together, you all make our district a place where everyone can thrive.

As we prepare for winter break, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and connect with loved ones. Whether you’re celebrating holidays, enjoying quiet moments, or setting goals for the new year, I hope this season brings you joy and renewal.

Looking ahead to 2025, I am excited about the opportunities that await us. Together, we will continue to prioritize the success and well-being of every student and ensure our schools remain places of growth and possibility.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy new year.

Yours in education,

Damon J. Englese, M.Ed.
