Fairfield Elementary School
School Dance Thursday!
Outdoor Education at Fairfield!
Next week, Ernestown Elementary School will be bringing over a group of High School students from all Limestone High Schools, to take a 2 day CHAIN SAW course. They will be in our school learning about chain saw safety on Tuesday and will be out in our forest on Tuesday and Wednesday getting rid of dead wood, clearing paths and wood chipping. We can't wait to see the results!
We will be allowing, on a class by class basis, the use of the forest at recess and will be using the forest for classroom lessons, too!
We recommend that you take the following precautions to protect your child from ticks:
- Dress your child in light-colored long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
- Apply a tick repellent on your child's skin and clothes.
- Conduct a tick check on your child's body each evening.
As the good weather approaches we hope we can teach our school about nature, the environment and outdoor play!
Forest Clean Up
A huge thank you to the High School students who spent two days at Fairfield learning how to operate chain saws! These students from across the LDSB were respectful and hard working! Our school can't wait to wander into our new and improved forest!
