Huge shoutout to our Fairfield music director, Mykayla Roskos-Neilson, who was recognized for the ISSMA Total Department All-Music Award!
Roskos-Neilson was given the award at the Indiana Statehouse, recognizing Fairfield's overall excellence at all levels including marching band, concert, show choir and jazz.
The exclusive award is given to less than two dozen scholastic music departments from around the state. Congrats to Roskos-Neilson and her entire music department for its overall success!

Keira Johnston, center, and Lee Rodman, right, were recently invited by their teacher, Wendi Sparks, to be part of an art exhibit called "Influences”, which explores the connection between high school art teachers and their students.
All three have artwork currently on display at Arlink in Fort Wayne until March 10.
Several other regional art educators and their students have work on display as well.

As we noted a couple days ago, competition season - and with it awards season - is now upon us for a host of Fairfield high school students in various disciplines and programs. One group that recently competed at the regional level was Fairfield Cosmetology, which are now in State prep mode, but for half the program, are also about to take on a new set of judges. Find out how business in the Cosmo room for junior Elise Schwartz and her classmates is about to pick up in a hurry below:

The completion of the new Fairfield Clinic is starting to appear on the horizon, and with that, Dennis Schooley took both of his high school Intro to Construction classes to the clinic site. Schooley used the opportunity to illustrate real life experiences of what a house would look like before the drywall covered all the mechanicals/insulation, along with the layout of where wiring and installations are placed.
The clinic site is now where the old Fairfield Food Pantry and Central Office used to be, situated on the corner of CR 31 and US 33 across from Fairfield Jr/Sr High School.

“I don’t think I’ve fully taken any of this in yet. I don’t understand it.” Lee Rodman used that as part of the feeling to describe being named one of two Gold Key Portfolio winners from Fairfield in what was an historic year for the art department among this year's Scholastic Art and Writing awards.
See how Rodman and some of her classmates made heads and tails of the awards run, and what's to come, below:

We've been teased with warm weather in February, and it has a lot of us thinking about summer. One of those summer perks are fresh strawberries, and the Fairfield FFA is ready to advance those thoughts!
Fairfield FFA is hosting a fundraiser selling flats of Fresh Florida Strawberries for $25, which contains 8 - 1 lb. containers of strawberries. The strawberries will be delivered to Fairfield Jr/Sr. High School for pickup on March 11.
