Fairmount Elementary would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to Fairmount Poultry, Jason Long with Thomas Concrete, and Sherman Hall Construction for partnering with us to install a basketball court on the playground.
This project was started by a group of 5th graders who went to the administration and asked if the school could build a basketball court for them on the playground.
Fairmount Elementary is very thankful for our community partners in education.
We are so grateful for our partnership with Helping Hand Ending Hunger. They recently upgraded our refrigerator and freezer. This gives us the opportunity to send home frozen food along with fresh produce to our families.
Early Release TOMORROW!
