Preschool Screening

The Fairfield/Choteau Cross Country team is competing in a race at Anaconda Hills in Great Falls on Friday, October 4. The race start times are 3:00 for the girls and 3:30 for the boys runners. This is a great opportunity to check out a cross-country meet and show some support to our student-athletes. It's a fun time, and this course is very spectator-friendly. There are several opportunities to follow them as they make their way around the course. Good luck to all of our runners on Friday!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students and student-athletes during last week's homecoming festivities. We had to move the bonfire to Friday night due to the rain, but it was still a great night. This was the maiden voyage for our new fire pit, built by recent FHS graduate Layne Carter with some assistance from current student, Caden Leversee.

Congratulations to Mr. John Park on being selected as a National Top 50 Finalist in Harbor Freight's Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence! There is a total of $1.5 million in cash prizes available for the national winners. The field of 50 will be narrowed down to 25 finalists this fall. Once that happens, and then those finalists will be narrowed to five grand prize winners. Mr. Park has put a great deal of time and effort into applying for this grant program. He has already secured awards for the school through his efforts. If he makes it to the top 25 finalists or is one of the five grand prize winners, Fairfield Public Schools will receive a large monetary boost to its ag and shop programs. We would like to formally recognize and applaud his efforts and commitment to Fairfield Public High School and its students. Keep up the great work, Mr. Park.
