Fairmount Elementary School received a surprise! Check out the beautiful plants in our planters! Compliments of Rustic Gardens on the square in Fairmount, GA. Thank you, Rustic Gardens, for your generous donation and beautiful plants! I know the students and staff will enjoy them this semester.

Our recycling program is up and running! I took this pic for a couple of reasons. 1) To show the size of the boxes we need to fill with recyclable plastic, 2) To give a shout-out to Mohawk for partnering with our school, and 3) to show that students/staff/parents can fill garbage bags or grocery store size bags to send or bring by the school to recycle. We get $1 each time we fill up a box and we are helping our environment! Please support our recycling efforts at FES!

Thank you to our local police departments, school resource officers, & school safety staff who help keep our schools safe! #GoCoSchools #LawEnforcementAppreciation#GETGCS
