New dental hygiene products such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, etc.
Please leave donated items in the big, blue tub located by the front display case in the school lobby.

ART WORK
Please contact Mrs. DeVita the art teacher @ hjdevita@vbschools.com with your email if you would like your children's artwork displayed on Artsonia.com.
Artsonia is an excellent fundraiser for our school, and you may purchase items from the site with your children's artwork printed on them. Items include mugs, greeting cards, t-shirts, and much more!
BREAKFAST IN THE CLASSROOM
Mornings can be really crazy! The alarm doesn’t go off, the kids don’t want to get up, there’s no time to eat breakfast before the bus comes or they’re just not ready to eat. If this sounds like your house, we have good news for you.
This year breakfast can be enjoyed in the classrooms at Fairfield Elementary! Take advantage of this option to ensure your child eats a nutritious breakfast. Recent studies show a link between nutrition and learning. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can actively participate in class. Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
Breakfast at school is affordable, too. A full breakfast costs less than convenience store items. If you qualify for free or reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. If you must pay, you’ll find a full price breakfast for $1.40, a reduced price breakfast for $0.30 and a free breakfast for no charge.
So take advantage of this opportunity to start the day on the right foot. Your child will find “Breakfast at School” provides not only a nutritious meal, but also a relaxed atmosphere and students are more settled when it’s time to begin the lessons for the day.
If you do not want your child to receive a breakfast, please instruct them not to select a breakfast in the mornings and/or notify their teacher. Students selecting a breakfast without any money will be charged for that breakfast. Student charge letters will be sent home each week.
