Fairforest Elementary

Students wore their favorite pajamas and enjoyed working and reading with guest readers as well.

5th Grade students entertained and sang in honor of our Veterans. A breakfast was served prior to the outstanding performance.

First Grade culminated a unit study on plants as living things. We took a tour at Hatcher Gardens and some even had Mrs. Hatcher Henderson as their guide.We learned about plants and the history of the gardens.

The North Spartanburg Fire Department came to FES to remind us about fire safety. We all need a family plan: check batteries in smoke detectors, where to go in case of a fire, and what to do if there is a fire. Thank you NSFD!

Students raised money for Heart Disease and had a blast jumping ropes, hoola hooping, waving rythmn sticks, shooting balls into baskets, and running over obstacles.

We learned about pushing, pulling, force, friction, and speed. We pushed and pulled our ice cream for a tasty demonstration. We discovered that golfing can be Science fun as well if you use the right amount of force to push and pull the putter.

Discovering math concepts using Digi Blocks is a fun way to learn counting, estimating, place value, and more.

Fairforest Students enjoyed supporting Dorman Senior High as they dressed in their Farmer's attire.

Fun was had by students and teachers on Field Day. Students participated in Fun "Farm/Cow" relay races, ate lunch outside, played on the playground, and enjoyed inflatables bouncing, sliding, and getting wet.

Two mornings were enjoyed by our K-2 and 3-5 Moms. Cafeteria, PTO, and faculty members graciously provided, supplied, and served Moms of FES students. Moms, remember you were our First Teachers!

PTO Volunteers,teachers, and Boys and Girls Club Counselors worked hard to make this year's Spring Carnival a success. The children seemed to have a blast.

Our Boys and Girls Club basketball team and cheerleaders made Fairforest proud. Playing three games in the inaugural tournament, they secured the championship trophy!

The Fairforest Family had a strong representation at the annual Greenville Drive Reading All Stars game. Our students certainly enjoyed their well earned baseball game!

First graders studied rocks. We investigated how rocks change from boulders to sand and soil.

Students dressed up in their choice careers. Visitors shared their jobs with FES students.

PTO and the faculty and staff at FES invited fathers to come enjoy breakfast with their children. This has become a well attended event at FES.

First Grade has learned about the Moon and Earth in Science and graphing in Math.

Teachers and guests shared with the students various facts about many countries. Teachers were dressed in traditional clothing from countries they are from or they have visited.

Academy Sports donated 30 bikes to 30 Kindergarten and First Grade students. 30 lucky children had their names drawn and were given a new bike and safety helmet.
