January is School Board Appreciation Month, and with it, Fairfield Community Schools took time at the recent school board meeting to show its appreciation for the work our board members put into making our school corporation great!
Among the appreciation was a thank you poster made by the classes at New Paris Elementary School, signed by students in each class. Board Vice President Brian Wogoman and Fairfield Assistant Superintendent Monica Kegerreis are shown checking out the poster during the meeting.
We thank Board President Sarah Elledge, Vice President Brian Wogoman, Treasurer Tyler Rensberger, and Board Members Marilee Keim and Aaron Rink, for all of their work and dedication to Fairfield!
First big snow of the new year, and first opportunity for the kids to get out and play in it! All three elementary schools were making snow men. Who did it better?
Fairfield Community Schools would like to recognize two of our choir members for being selected to the 2024 Indiana Music Educators Association All-State Honor Choir!

Congrats to Paige and Branden for quite an honor!

Fairfield will be providing a sweet treat, and dessert, too! The Winter Spectacular performances are quickly approaching!
Fairfield Community Schools are on a two-hour delay for Tuesday, Jan. 9.
If there's a bright side, the days are slowly getting longer. We'll see you back in class tomorrow!
A turn of the calendar to 2024 has our Fairfield family wishing you the best in the new year!
From our Fairfield family to yours, Merry Christmas!
A note that we are taking a little break for the hustle as well!
Have a wonderful winter break! We will see you all in a couple weeks!
Winter is officially here, for those who celebrate the occasion!
The kids are building for the holiday, in a good, communal way!
Jeff McClure’s Building Trades class spent time this morning shopping for gifts to give local families in need. All of the purchases were brought back to Fairfield High School to be wrapped and then distributed to selected families who could use an extra hand with gift giving this holiday season.
Well done everyone, way to bring some holiday cheer to those who could use a boost.
He didn't spend a lot of time on it, but time wasn't his point. Greg Hire used painting as a canvas for a bigger picture Wednesday morning at Millersburg Elementary Middle School, and hopefully made three minutes into a teaching masterpiece.

The kids of New Paris Elementary had a special guest today for their early Christmas party! Mac made his appearance, no doubt looking for turkey and mashed potatoes but spent some quality time with the kids as they partied hearty in celebration of a great first semester of school.
