Fairfield 5th Grade Ambassadors and student volunteers were excited to welcome 90 new Kindergarten Students at Fairfield’s Puppy Pride Camp held on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. Student helpers greeted students at drop-off, worked with them throughout the day, and were there to wave goodbye when their parents arrived at the end of the day. The camp will also be held on Wednesday, August 2nd.
In addition to welcoming new students, Fairfield welcomed the French Immersion Program this year to its Kindergarten Program. In French Immersion, students will learn 60% of instruction including math, social studies, and science in French and 40% of instruction which includes reading/language arts in English. Successful French Immersion Students are bilingual by the end of first grade!
The Kindergarten Team includes Department Leader and Teacher Jerilyn Harris, with Teachers Angie Bogan, Stephanie Smith, Jenna Middleton, and Marie Pennecot.
