Your dedication to ensuring the success and growth of our school community is truly commendable, and it is with great appreciation that I extend my thanks to each and every one of you. As we move forward with implementing the approved budget, I want to assure you that we will continue to prioritize transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. We are open to feedback and happy to answer questions at any time. We understand the importance of effectively utilizing the resources entrusted to us and remain committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our students. Once again, thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school community. Together, we can work together to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and contribute to the success of our schools. Regards, Brooke Olsen-Farrell

FHGS band and chorus students had the wonderful opportunity to perform in a high notes music festival in New York. Our students received an Excellent Award for their choral performance and a Good Award for the intermediate band performance. The students celebrated by closing out the day at the Great Escape where fun was had by all!!

With the busy happenings that come at the end of a school year, please remember to vote this Tuesday, June 18th. The budget information meeting will be the night before at 6:30 PM in the band room at Fair Haven Union Middle & High School.

Our halls have only been empty for a few minutes and we already miss our students!! We hope you all have a fabulous summer and we can't wait to see you in August!!!

Here are more pictures of our Grade 1 Fiesta performance! What beautiful artwork our students made for this performance as well!!

FHGS first graders studied Mexican culture and learned about facts, foods, music, dance, and traditions. Their culminating activity was a performance for families. These soon-to-be 2nd graders put on an amazing performance and even got their families to engage in song and dance! Estudiantes bravos!!!

The 6th Grade Celebration on June 11 was amazing. Celebrating our 6th Graders as they prepare to transition to FHUMS was wonderful. We have no doubt that our 6th Graders are going to move forward and make a positive impact on the world. Thank you parents and families for all your support. We also wanted to thank Shaw's for the beautiful flower arrangements and balloons to show our 6th graders how special they are!
