Fairmount Elementary School

Congratulations to our chorus teacher, Jayme Crowley, for winning our September attendance gift card! Every month we have a drawing for a gift card for faculty and staff that have not missed a day for that month. Also, we would like to thank the Horace Mann Agency for continuing to support FES by donating the gift cards for our staff.

We’re proud to celebrate our "Homegrown" educators and staff at Gordon County Schools who graduated from our high schools! Thank you for giving back to the community you love. You help make our schools a special place! #HomegrownGordon #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools

Fairmount Elementary kindergarten teacher Jacob Chastain reviewed the "Beauty and the Beast" story with his students. They were engaged and eager to answer questions about the story! #TogetherWeLearn #TogetherGCS

At our October LSGT meeting we discussed a survey that 3rd-5th grade students participated in. The survey showed 97% of these students like school, feel safe, and feel encouraged at school to do well. 98% of students feel as if they are recognized for their good behavior, feel respected by teachers, and know there’s always an adult to help if needed. Lastly, 90% of students seldom-never feel threatened or bullied by others. There is always room for improvement and suggestions, this is where LSGT comes in…suggestions! We also discussed our upcoming fundraisers and recognized how wonderful our PTO is coming together and creating new and fun things for our school. Please join us at our next LSGT meeting on November 6th at 6:45am. We will have a guest speaker, Brian Hall, Strategic Initiatives & Communications Director.

WEEKEND CHALLENGE!!!!!!!! Every student who sells 2 items over the weekend-Friday, Saturday, & Sunday will be entered into a drawing to win a bluetooth speaker or earbuds! (We have 2 bluetooth speakers and one pair of earbuds to give away.)
