I am thrilled to bring back a column dedicated to Fairyland Elementary School in the Lookout Mountain Mirror. I hope this column will showcase the exciting activities at our school, fun fundraising events and the amazing achievements of our students. As an alumnus of FES, I have fond memories of my time there, and I’m excited to revamp this column.
We live in a truly special place, with fairytale characters as street names, a caring community, and parents and teachers who give so much of themselves to make our school what it is. FES is one of the many places that provide its students with a nurturing environment in which our children can reach for the stars. Our teachers are incredible, inspiring our students to challenge themselves and push beyond their limits.
Springtime at Fairyland School is in full swing! Our students have been busy with lots of exciting activities. In March, we hosted Missoula Children’s Theater.
Missoula is a traveling theater company that visits schools and educates students about theater and the performing arts while rehearsing for a play to be performed at the end of the week. This year’s play was “Hercules,” and it was an amazing experience for our students!
The week after the play, we hosted our Fairyland Art Show, showcasing our students’ artwork for both their fellow students and the community to see. Lorelei Williams (fifth grade) won first place; Addie Stewart (fifth grade) came in second; Jane Willoughby (kindergarten) took third; and Joanna Jeremiah (second grade) received an honorable mention. We’re so proud of all our talented Fairyland Falcon artists!
We hosted Grandparents’ Day on March 27 and 28, which is always a sweet day for our students and grandparents alike. On Grandparents' Day, our students get to play host and tour guide for their grandparents, showing them around the school and their classrooms. It is always a memorable day for all those who get to participate.
The Fairyland Festival, the last PTO Fundraiser of the year, took place in April. The Fairyland Festival is always the most anticipated event of the year by our students and the community. As a kid, I always loved going to the festival with my friends. We could send people to jail, visit our teachers at booths, and of course, indulge in all the sugar and prizes we could handle for a few hours. We want to thank everyone who supports the Fairyland Festival, making it so special and successful.
We hope you all had a fantastic spring! Please look for the Fairyland Falcon column in upcoming issues so you’ll always be in the loop about all things FES.
