Dear Farnham Families,

At Farnham, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment where every student feels valued, supported, and safe. We believe that when our community embraces diversity and ensures that all voices are heard, we create a space where everyone can thrive. Our ongoing efforts focus on building a culture of respect, belonging, and opportunity for all. We deeply appreciate the partnership of our families and community members in helping to instill these values in our students. Together, we can make Farnham a place where every student feels seen, included, and empowered to succeed.

In other exciting news, we have officially kicked off our Readathon, and Farnham is looking great in the district-wide competition! If you haven’t registered your student yet, please do so today—it’s not too late to join in the fun and help build a love of reading.

Next Friday, we will celebrate friendship throughout the school in honor of Valentine’s Day. We encourage students to exchange kind messages and tokens of appreciation, but we ask that no candy be included in the Valentine's exchanges. Thank you for helping us create a fun and inclusive celebration for all!

Be well,

Amy O'Hehir

Farnham Principal
