Fairfield building trades is staying busy as fall classes start to unfold. Taking advantage of some free time before its house site is ready for work, Jeff McClure's class took on fixing the roof of the pavilion on the east side of the Jr/Sr high school campus. The old shingle roof is being replaced with a steel cover.

Fairfield FFA had a very unique opportunity to attend a Farm Bureau seminar at the Showalter Farm in Benton Tuesday afternoon. What made the trip extra special was guest speaker Congressman Rudy Yakym, who represents Elkhart County and was on hand to tour the farm and hold a Q&A with the 50-plus people in attendance.
Yakym posed for pictures with the FFA as well as toured the Showalter Farm among his stop in the area. Fairfield FFA, led by advisor Karrin Koontz, brought nearly a dozen students to take part in the experience.
The annual Blue & Gold Gala is fast approaching. Find out how you can be a part of the event!

Fairfield Community Schools were back in session, which Wednesday's return to the classroom was an apex to a week of prep and anticipation at all four of the district buildings! Here's a photo set from all around this week, and we'll drop another album later this morning!
WELCOME BACK!
Come one, come all, and join us for an exciting afternoon at Fairfield’s new athletic complex!
Fairfield Community Schools will be hosting its Fair In The Field community outing from 2-7 p.m. on Saturday, August 12, celebrating the new athletic arenas on the east side of the campus. This will be the official dedication for the new softball and baseball fields, along with the tennis courts.
The dedication will take place at 6 p.m. on the baseball field with select Fairfield administration and community supporters.
The public is welcomed and encouraged to attend the free event! We'll see you there!

Our new food service system, Linq Connect, is in place. See the statement from our food service director as well as the easy-to-use information to get the app and get started!
Fairfield Community Schools sent 71 staff members - that's almost 50 percent of our teachers, school counselors, social workers, and administrators - to the PLC at Work Conference in Lincolnshire, IL earlier this week.
Over the span of three days, our team learned more about the Professional Learning Community process and how it can be used at Fairfield to increase student achievement. Educating our students is our "why," and when almost half of our staff volunteer some of their last days of summer break to learn more about how working together can help all of our students achieve at high levels, the 2023-24 school year looks like it's off to a tremendous start!
There is always a need for substitute teachers, and we would love to have you!
Find our how you can be part of our awesome school system!
