Unfortunately, the wrestling meet scheduled for Thursday, December 19 has been canceled. They will still be participating in the Holiday Classic in Great Falls this weekend. Our next home wrestling meet is Thursday, January 16. We will be recognizing our senior wrestlers at that meet.
Fairfield Alumni and Recent Graduates,
Spring scholarship checks will be ready for pickup starting Monday, January 6th. Please contact Mrs. Evans in the HS office with your unofficial transcript and necessary information.
Happy Holidays,
The FFA still has some fruit for sale. It will be available while they are selling Christmas trees. If you have any questions about FFA fruit or Christmas tree sales, please contact John Park at (406) 590-3478.
Don't forget the community Christmas Stroll tonight form 4-8! See vendors at the hall and Santa arrives at 6PM. Support businesses up and down main street!
The FFA is still selling Christmas trees. They are $5/foot, and they do still have several trees left. They are going fast, though. Sales are typically from 3:45 to 7:00 at the high school shop. The FFA members are planning to stay later as needed to accommodate the school's music programs and Fairfield Christmas stroll if they have any trees left. They will likely be finished with sales on or before December 19.
Dear Fairfield Parents and Community,
This morning, we were informed that school officials across the state received threatening messages. These messages were not targeted at Fairfield Schools or specific districts, and they are suspected to originate overseas. We have been in contact with local, state, and federal law enforcement on this issue and have taken precautionary measures, but we do not believe there is any abnormal threat to our school. At this time, we are planning on having school as normal today with all necessary precautions in place.
Superintendent Dustin Gordon

JH Basketball Update: The Junior High basketball game scheduled for tomorrow in Browning has been cancelled. Please spread the word to anyone who needs to know. Thank you
The Lady Eagles Volleyball team is headed to the MHSA State Class B Volleyball Tournament in Bozeman today. We have lined up a sendoff with the firetrucks and ambulance to show the community's support for these student-athletes as they represent FHS and our community. They will be leaving the school between 5:30 and 5:45 this evening. Please join us in cheering them on as they head out to Bozeman!
Parents of Junior High students, the due date for Butter Braid and Cookie Dough fundraiser money and order forms is Monday (11/4). Please make sure your child gets these returned. Thank you!
If anyone is still interested in buying tickets for the college basketball exhibition game in Fairfield on Saturday, October 26, they can be bought online at the website listed below.

The cross-country team is headed to their state meet in Missoula today. They will be escorted out of town with a firetruck to give them a proper sendoff. They will leave the school at approximately 12:25. It will look a little different than other state send-offs we have done because they will be riding on a bus provided by Choteau Public Schools. This is because we have been in a co-op with Choteau for cross-country this year. Even though it might feel a little different cheering on a bus with a Choteau Bulldog on it, please join us in supporting these student-athletes as they head to state to represent our school and community.

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!
PICTURE RETAKES
FLU SHOT CLINIC
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.
