The steam train derailed Monday as the red-hot Fairfield baseball team found defeat in the NorthWood Baseball Sectional, a 5-0 result in favor of East Noble. East Noble starter Luke Mast outdueled Fairfield's Keegan Miller, Mast with 11 strikeouts and got out of two big jams to keep the Falcons off the board. East Noble countered with three RBIs from Reese Rouch to win its first sectional title since 1995. Fairfield concludes its season 24-7 overall and NECC league champions for the first time in a decade. Fairfield tied a team record with those 24 wins, and eight players were named All-NECC. Alec Hershberger has been collecting awards left and right, most recently named an Indiana North-South All-Star. Coach Darin Kauffman will coach Hershberger in the All-Star game this summer.

Everyone wants a voice in the world, it's just a matter of how you speak. And for some, speaking is a little more difficult. Fairfield recognizes that by employing speech pathologists, like Faith Mahony shown here with her students at New Paris Elementary. Hers and others' work with our students help put our kids on the right track to have a say in this awesome world we live in. Thank you to those who serve our students as we recognize National Speech Pathologist's Day!

Jill Anderson's veterinary class at Fairfield ventured to a local breeding facility to assist with annual exams and vaccinations. The onsite opportunity furthers what the students are already learning within the classroom during the year, and a nice way to punctuate the end of the year. Special thanks to Anderson for providing the photos!
