Fairmount Elementary kindergarten teacher Stacy Grantham had her students engaged in a phonics lesson today, focusing on how to sound out and spell words as they write. These foundational skills help students understand sound patterns, which play a key role in learning to spell correctly. It was a great example of early literacy instruction in action.

Fairmount Elementary 2nd grade teacher Taylor Dobson worked with her students on identifying and using text features in their writing. Students were highly engaged as they discussed how diagrams can support a reader’s understanding and add clarity to a text.

We are so proud of third grader Brilee Goodman for being this year's winner of the Red Ribbon Week poster contest. She was given a puzzle of her poster at a reception last week at the Harris Arts Center with the other winners from Gordon County and Calhoun City Schools.

This year's theme is "Life is a Puzzle Solve It Drug Free". Brilee's poster featured a jigsaw puzzle of hope, family, and things to focus on besides choosing drugs and other substances.

We are so proud of this Bulldog and her talents! Have a great Red Ribbon Week!

Fairmount Parents,
Students will be allowed to wear their costumes to school on Thursday, October 30th. Your child’s safety
is always our first concern here at Fairmount. We ask that you guide their selection of costumes to allow
them to comfortably work and learn throughout the day, as well as be able to independently use the
restroom. Any items that encourage violence or could be scary to other children are inappropriate for
children at school. All accessories to costumes should be left at home. We are not responsible for lost or
damaged items. Students are not allowed to wear full-faced masks. Classes will enjoy a snack and craft
during the school day. This is for the students only. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a fun
and safe day at school. We are looking forward to an enjoyable day!
