Teacher Appreciation Week - Help Us Thank Our Teachers & Staff!
It's no secret that Fairfield's teachers and staff are out of this world! The PTO has something special planned on every day of next week to show our teachers and staff just how much we appreciate all they do for our students. We'd love to have your help!
The PTO is treating our teachers to lunch on Friday, May 12. We are looking for donations from our Fairfield families to help round out the meal. Sign up for items here: https://signup.com/go/KEOUzVS. Beverages can be brought to the office throughout the week, but please have all donations to the office no later than Friday morning. Thank you!
As a special surprise for our teachers, we're encouraging our students to color a picture or write a short note thanking a teacher or staff member. They might tell their teacher what they liked about their class this year or share what they appreciate that their teacher does for them. If your students need an idea for their note, we've provided a printable "Thank You" worksheet below, but teachers would enjoy anything your child would like to draw or write in appreciation. Don't forget to bring in your notes for your teachers next week!
Super Games
Don't forget that our Super Games field day is next Thursday, May 11! For our annual field day we contract with a local events company that brings in multiple inflatables, field games, riding games, and water games! The PTO helps the kids cool down after all that play with a popsicle treat at the end of their session. The kids LOVE it! Remember to have your students wear sunscreen, shoes WITH socks, and to bring a water bottle with them on May 11!
It takes A LOT of volunteers to support all this FUN, and historically this has been one of our most popular events with our volunteers as well. If you'd like to secure a volunteer spot during your child's play time, click on the sign up link below! Each play station requires at least two volunteers to help monitor students. Grades 3, 4, and AM Kinders will play during the morning session. Grades 1, 2, and PM Kinders will play during the afternoon session.

May PTO Meeting and BOARD ELECTIONS
Save the date for an important PTO meeting! Our May meeting includes our board elections and committee/coordinator appointments. WE NEED YOU! This is our opportunity to talk about how much we can do for our students next year based on the number of volunteers we receive! Mark your calendars for May 17 at 7pm!
