Please see the press release from the Fairfield Police Department.
Today is listed as National Constitution Day, and who better to bring in to speak to Fairfield U.S. History students than a judge?!?! Judge Kristine Osterday from the Elkhart Superior Court spoke to students this morning about the U.S. Constitution, how it applies to today's judicial system, and some of the inner workings of the legal process. Students in the first session asked questions ranging from what Judge Osterday's longest court case was, what was the weirdest case, and if she was ever scared of anyone during a court case.
“The students are so engaged compared to other schools I have been to, and this is so fun to do,” Osterday said following the first session. “What we do in court is not very happy. And so, even if we have a couple kids who are engaged and interested, it's one of the things which really energize me and keep me coming out to do these speaking engagements.”
Judge Osterday will host Fairfield students later in the school year for a mock trial in Elkhart, showing them a more in-depth version of the court process.
They have control of the big, red button! Thank you to our I.T. professionals: Cody Stewart, Aaron Speedy, Shane Bowling, Ashley Cook, Jon Long, Alex Doll and Amanda Wehmeyer for keeping our technology running smoothly!
The 2023-24 Fairfield Jr/Sr High School yearbooks are out, and if you haven't gotten yours yet, come get 'em!
Fairfield cheerleading coach Russell Ridley mentioned Saturday morning that he had worried about the overall numbers for the Fairfield cheerleading clinic. Ridley and the clinic staff were surprised to see a line out the door Saturday morning as more than six dozen kids came out for the one-day session.
The campers had hand-on teaching from the Fairfield cheerleaders themselves, working through basic cheers to light stunt sessions and tumbling exercises. Safe to say the clinic was a huge success for the Fairfield cheer program!
DayInTheLife - Solving A Personal Mystery
The journey to getting her book, 'Silent Sister', on the bookshelves wasn't just working through the mystery of the plot. Megan Davidhizar had to work through her own personal struggles, as well as drawing upon those of her Fairfield students.

Tomorrow is the first day for students, but today was the first day back for our Fairfield staff. We all gathered for breakfast and fellowship in the morning, recognizing our new staff, testimonials from our staff trip to Lincolnshire's learning sessions, some competitive intrasquad trivia, and a powerful message from new social worker Sara Ryman and her journey to where she is today.
Our staff then broke out to the individual buildings for staff meetings before finishing their day getting classrooms ready for green flag in the morning.
We are overjoyed to see our staff in place and coming together in such a positive manner to start the school year, and can't wait to see how they will impact our students and community in the days, months and years to come!

Fairfield community students have projects and animals all over the fairgrounds, and are doing well in competition!
Check out the latest gallery of some of our kids achieving at one of the biggest fairs in the country!
It was a busy opening weekend at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, and our Fairfield community was right in the middle of it. The parade on Sunday was full of Falcon Pride, literally with the Fairfield Marching Pride and Color Guard, along with Fairfield cheerleading to go along with all three community fire departments, as well as a host of individuals in clubs and organizations that marched through Goshen to the fairgrounds. We also had Kylee Sark and Cheyenne Bender among the finalists for the Fair Queen, Sark landing third runner-up!
We'll have another gallery later today with kids and their projects and animal exhibits!
A reminder, if you would like to get in on our photo galleries from the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, please email a photo(s) with the individual's name and a brief description of what's going on to Mike Deak at mdeak@fairfield.k12.in.us
