Fairfield County Fair organizers look ahead to next year as 2020 fair ends smoothly |
|
Congratulations to all of our students who had exhibits at the fair this year! You all should feel proud of yourselves for sticking with your projects throughout this challenging year.
Last week was the 2020 Fairfield County Fair, and although visitors weren't able to have a normal fair experience, the organizers of the Fairfield County Fair said it went smoothly. 4-H members and their immediate families were allowed in to show their animals, while a livestream of the events were available to people who couldn't attend in person.
"Before the fair started, we were worried the public would try to come in. It was definitely a difficult call to exclude anyone not showing, but it wouldn't be safe to have a large number of people here," said Fairfield County Fair Board President Nancy Myers. "But thankfully, everyone understood why the fair had to make that call."
County residents are hopeful for a normal experience next year, but The Fairfield County Fair Board still needs to discuss what will happen for 2021. The health and safety of attendees remains their number one priority, and will have to wait and assess the appropriate move for next year's fair.

MEDILL
Interested in Free and Reduced Lunch? The Free and Reduced Lunch rates for our school provide additional Federal Funds that support learning and family engagement. Here are a few thing we can do with the funds:
Our school can use those funds to improve student achievement throughout entire school buildings, hire title staff to support reading and math instruction, support afterschool programs/activities, provide family and community homeless liaison support, provide information for parents to increase their knowledge and skills as they relate to their children’s education and more!
Every child benefits from the added services and programs not just those who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Apply here.

THOMAS EWING
Thomas Ewing started a new program called Positive Referral Student Recognition where teachers can give positive referrals to students who are doing great work. Then, those students can write a thank you note to that teacher!
The selected students get to enjoy a socially distant celebration outside with popcorn! Congratulations to the students who were selected in the month of September! #senatorpride
