A Message from the Principal
Dear Fairfax Families,


Our student council and Olweus committee held our Kick Off “Let
Character be your Guide” Assembly today. You can see us in action by
going to: http://youtu.be/z9xp88gamBo - The students who
show their “true character” through the 3R’s will be recognized at the
end of each quarter. They will earn a bracelet for clipping up on the
classroom clip charts throughout each quarter. Please discuss this
with your child/ren this weekend to reinforce the importance of being
respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. Thank you for your support.

Vision Statement IV: Provide a safe and secure environment in which students can grow
academically and socially.
As part of our District Strategic Plan, Mentor Public Schools seeks to ensure the safety of students and staff in our buildings. As part of our district safety plan, every building completes
at least one “Lock Down” drill each year. These unannounced drills, in addition to the regularly scheduled fire and tornado drills can be frightening for younger students as they begin
their school experience. Please take a few moments to talk to your young child about safety
and security at school. The adults in the buildings take their job of keeping students safe very
seriously; as always, if you have any questions please contact your school principal.

Fifth Grade News
This week in fifth grade we did many things. In reading, we read a book
called “Jake Drake Know It All”. It is a book about a boy and his friend making
a project for the science fair. In social studies we learned about the landforms
and geography of the East. In math, we learned about dividing numbers by
tens, hundreds, and thousands. In science we did our labs. This week we
made posters and had a gallery walk on Thursday. A gallery walk is when we
walked around and looked at other people’s posters. We made comments
about what we liked about them and what we wanted to know more about
them. These are some things we did this week in fifth grade.

The signs in the flower bed are markers where each class planted red
tulips last week. They symbolize our commitment to being drug free.
When they bloom in April we will be reminded of Red Ribbon Week.
