Fairdale Elementary

Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Virgie's class hosted a family love day!

Family Love Day 💕 In PreK, families are a child’s first teachers—and when home and school work together, amazing things happen! Thank you for teaming up with us to help your child grow and shine. ❤️

Congratulations to these students!

The Raleigh County Humane Society sent this prize pack to our winner, Hannah! She was the winner of their art contest our 3rd graders entered! We appreciate the humane society offering contests like this, giving our Falcons opportunities to shine!

See the photo attached for our dance information! We hope to see our Falcons there!

School Counseling Week is a timely reminder of the quiet, essential work happening in our schools every day.

This week, we recognize and thank our school counselors for the critical role they play in supporting students’ academic growth, social-emotional well-being, and future planning. Counselors are often the first to notice when a student is struggling—and the steady presence that helps them navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.

From individual student support and crisis response to academic advising and career guidance, your work matters more than most people realize—and it truly changes lives.

If you see a school counselor today, take a moment to thank them.

Thank you to our school counselors for your compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to students. Our schools are stronger because of you.

Menu change: Lunch at Fairdale Elementary on 2-4-2026 is scheduled to be lasagna.
