It's Christmas Spirit Week 12/15-12/19 at CJD. Monday is "winter wonderland!" Students and staff should wear blue and/or white! Also the snack shack is open all week next week; cash only.
A Spark for the Season ✨ As we head into Winter Break, we're taking a moment to reflect on the light shining across Fairfield City Schools, from our classrooms to our community partnerships. At Glen Oaks Intermediate, Counselor Jenequa Winston and student Walter King remind us that just one spark of encouragement can ignite a culture of confidence and academic growth. 💡 We're also seeing the power of investment and belief in action: ✅ $269,104.77 allocated from Jefferson County’s school tax fund, marked simply and beautifully: “For our children’s futures.” ✅ $25,000 Sports Matter grant awarded to Fairfield Prep’s boys basketball team by the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation These aren’t just dollars, they’re votes of confidence in our students and the future we’re building together. 💛 As we close the semester, let’s continue protecting that future with wellness and digital safety. Review updates, rest well, and return focused. 🌟 Thank you for being the spark that makes this work powerful. Warmest wishes for a joyful and restorative holiday season. #FairfieldCitySchools #FCSForward #StudentSuccess #SparkAward #CommunityInvestment #SportsMatter #DigitalWellness #HolidaySeason #ThankYou #FairfieldParents #FCSD #FairfieldSchools #AlabamaSchools #K12Education #FairfieldTigers #SchoolLife #ParentingInFairfield #CommunitySchools #StudentSuccess #FairfieldFamily #SchoolEvents #FairfieldAL #BackToSchoolFairfield #EducationMatters #FutureLeaders #FairfieldStudents #ParentPower #SchoolPartnership #HomeOfOurTigers
