Boomerz BBQ Support Day
Boomerz BBQ is supporting Fairview on Wednesday, April 30th.  Anyone who purchases food on this day and presents a Fairview coupon will help support our playground project.  A Fairview coupon can be printed by visiting the following web site at www.easttennesseerewards.com.  Please write the teacher and students name on coupon and the winning class wins an ice cream party.  Using this internet system helps the restaurant prepare by giving them the number of coupons printed.   Twenty-five percent of the proceeds for dine-in or carryout will come directly to our school.  Thanks to Boomerz and to our family and friends for supporting our school.  

Accelerated Reader Update
We have just added over 440 new Accelerated Reader Quizzes making our list of titles available to Fairview students near 5,000.  The AR list is available on the Fairview web page. 


Principal Points to Ponder
T-Cap time is fast approaching (April 7 - 11 only).  We need all students to be here on time.  Any student arriving after the test has started will not be allowed to enter their classroom.  Remember to get plenty of rest and eat a hearty breakfast. 

Hints for test taking: 
  • Multiple Choice:  Read all of the answers before marking your answer.  Eliminate the two answers that you know are not correct.  your first instinct is usually correct. 
  • True or False:  Words like may or often are usually found in true answers.  Words such as never, always, all and none are usually false. 
Honey "B" Breakfast Shake
We know how important it is to put fuel in our cars and know that it is equally important to fuel our bodies with nutritious foods.  Breakfast is maybe the most important meal of the day.  Kids who eat breakfast do better at school.  With a quick and easy recipe like this, even the busiest bee can find time to blend honey, milk and bananas to create a thick, delicious and very nutritious breakfast shake. 

Ingredients: 
2 medium bananas, quartered
1 cup low fat milk
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoons ground nutmeg, optional
Makes 2 servings

"I'm a Green Kid" Campaign

When your students bring in a toy and / or a book for Swap Day, March 31, they will be given a ticket.  Student led and Parent Conference Day is the day that they will be able to use their ticket to trade for another book and / or toy.  Students who bring in a piece of clothing will receive a check on their "I'm a Green Kid" card which they will be able to trade in for a button at the end of the campaign.  I hope you will support this effort as we try to encourage our students to be good stewards of our Earth.
