Fairfield Public Schools

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. If there are still tickets available, you will be able to pay at the door on Saturday, too. The game starts at 1:00. https://gofan.co/event/1721501?schoolId=MT17082_1

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!

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.

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.
