Fourth graders rest in "final relaxation" after

their indoor recess yoga class.

Students stay after

school for "boot

camp". These kids

are doing lunges

on the stage steps.

We are thankful

for the partnership

with the East

Butler County

YMCA.

District

The FCSD school community stepped up in a big

way to help the St. Raphael's Christmas Shoppe by

donating more than 700 toys for families in need

during the "Ton of Toys" drive. The goal was to

collect enough toys to fill a one-ton City of

Fairfield dump truck, and we surpassed that goal

and the collections from last year. Way to go,

students, staff and community! The drive was

organized by Nina Rose, FHS Registered Nurse

and Students Against Drunk Driving at FHS.

Special thanks to them, the city of Fairfield for

allowing us to use their truck, and district

maintenance members Jamie Bertke, Scott Butler,

Karen Clements and Kevin Enderle for picking up

toys at all 10 schools, transportation and the

administration building!

time with those they love. We are thankful for our Grandpersons!

apps for the iPads for

student use!
