This week kicks off the 8th graders last week at Fairview! From a boat ride in downtown Chicago, to exploring the Shedd Aquarium, the students are enjoying every moment of their final days at Fairview. The winners of the annual Blumenfeld Award were also announced, recognizing two students who possess great leadership in our school. Congratulations to Abdu and Sophia for your great accomplishment of receiving the award here at Fairview! Good luck to the Class of 2014!
Fairview participated in the Little Nine Track Meet on Wednesday, May 21st at Niles West High School. The 8th Grade Boys Varsity Team placed 2nd overall and won an award plaque! The 7th Grade Girls Team also won an award plaque by placing 3rd overall. The 8th Grade Girls placed 5th and the 7th Grade Boys placed 7th. There were a number of personal bests at the meet and the coaches were very proud of all of the athletes!
It was a close game...but the Fossils were victorious yet again in the annual Falcons vs. Fossils volleyball game! The varsity boys and girls team won the first match, but the Fossils came back and won the second. The third match was was close, but the Fossils ended up with the win.
This week in Spanish class the 7th graders participated in a staged phone conversation with a random classmate. Students prepared possible questions and answers ahead of time and were then asked to have their phone conversation in front of the class in an “improv” setting. Students used various telephones during this activity while pretending to have a real phone conversation between a foreign exchange student and host student. Students were graded on their questions and answers, as well as their ability to keep the conversation going using ONLY SPANISH. Take a look!
The 7th and 8th grade teachers would like to thank the PTA and students for all of your efforts in making us feel special during teacher appreciation week! We enjoyed the delicious lunch spread and raffle prizes on Institute Day as well as our superhero "Incredible" boards. We would also like to thank the Student Council for the green drink tumblers and Crystal light energy drink. What a great way to use the new water bottle refill fountain by the cafeteria! All of your gestures make us feel appreciated and reinforce to us that Fairview is such a wonderful community to work in!
