The Rebel Crier

This Memorial Day, as we enjoy enjoy picnics, parades, and time with family and friends, let's all take a moment to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of something greater than themselves.

As the weather gets warmer, the seniors are out on internships, and we can count the days of school left on our fingers, we need your support to make sure that our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students stay focused and continue to do their best work through the end of the year! Tardiness to school and to class is creeping up, as well as some unfocused behavior in classrooms. One of the most important skills we want our students to learn are persistence, so let's all work together to finish the year strongly!

Final Exams for all courses begin on June 12th. Some classes may have two-hour sit-down exams while others may have project-based assessments. Teachers have been communicating this to students, and it is important that students are in attendance through the last day of exams on June 17th. June 18th is a makeup day for students who missed their finals.

Congratulations to two NFHS students who both won different categories for the New Fairfield HRRA 17th Annual Recycling Billboard Contest.

Sara Braun '25 won "Regional 1st place" (she preferred not to have her photo taken.)

Sophia Deguila '24 won "Champion Award Regional 1st place"

The NFHS PTO hosted a wonderful luncheon to show appreciation for the staff of the high school.

The teachers, paraprofessionals, secretaries, custodians, tech staff, and administrators were truly grateful for the donations of families and community members in making this afternoon possible!

Special thanks to Nina Farrell and Loretta Boatey, PTO Hospitality Chairs, who coordinated the lunch, and Iowa Cipollone, Co-President, for setting up and serving the delicious lunch from Biscotti's!

Juniors will take the Next Generation Science Standards tests in their science class during the week of May 20th. All juniors must take this test as part of our state requirements. Teachers will give students more information in class.

On May 30th, juniors will have a modified schedule to accommodate our “Junior Jumpstart” post-secondary planning program, which will give them a head start getting ready for college applications, trade and career training programs, financial aid applications and more!

Of the nine Latin II students who took the National Latin exam on March 6, three won awards. Ella Skogstrom won a Summa Cum Laude gold medal award, and Quinn Rosin won a Cum Laude award. Evelyn Zegley won a certificate of merit for her participation, and all students deserve commendation for challenging themselves and participating in this rigorous national exam. Macte honoribus!

New Fairfield National Honor Society students are excited to offer their tutoring services to the high school community!
