We are so pleased to present our Winter newsletter, which highlights some of the the incredible projects, activities and adventures we were able to engage in together so far this school year…our students made us so proud each and every day, building friendships and enriching each others’ lives through collaborative learning and play!
We are extremely excited to share a new tradition with you this holiday season – Planting Memories, an initiative created to provide a sense of connection and community to our students, their families and our staff!
Our vision for this new tradition is to create memories, while honoring the values that are represented by the holiday season: love, family, giving, and sharing.
We hope you will join us in a new Fair Acres tradition!
Here’s how it works:
This new tradition was born out of the desire to provide and maintain a close connection throughout the holiday season, in lieu of gathering for our typical celebrations. As always, our number one priority is to ensure everyone’s safety, as we strive to preserve what our families, students and alumni revere most about Fair Acres.
Rest assured that the entire staff at Fair Acres continues to take the COVID-19 crisis very seriously and follows the EEC and State guidelines on a daily basis. We truly appreciate you support and assistance during these times. As always, if you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly.
Fair Acres is taking the following measures and has set the following COVID protocols in place to ensure that all children and staff are kept safe:
We are collecting testimonials that illustrate the value we provide to our students and their families.
Please take a few moments to share your Fair Acres stories and experiences with us, here!
Thank you in advance for your submission…we will be expressing our thanks by presenting participants with a FREE Fair Acres t-shirt!
On October 28th, the Pre-K, 5-day classes and Kindergarten class participated in Jumpstart’s “Read for the Record®,” the world’s largest shared reading experience!
Each year, Jumpstart selects a campaign book that fosters language and social-emotional development, honors the diversity in our world, has a strong narrative, and appeals to young children. That book is read across the country and around the world by adults and young readers on Read for the Record day.
As a part of this initiative, the children gathered on the outdoor stage to read this year’s campaign book, Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon, written by Kat Zhang and illustrated by Charlene Chua.
The children also collaborated to create Fair Acres’ very own magnificent patchwork dragon, which they proudly displayed in the Fair Building!
Part of a national campaign that was launched over a decade ago, “Read for the Record®” addresses the educational inequities that leave many children unprepared for Kindergarten, by:

Fair Acres Families: we wanted to encourage you to utilize our very own “Little Free Library,” located outside the Sanborn building!
How It Works: Take a book or leave a book, be sure to close the door…keep the book forever, or return it for one more!

We couldn’t be happier to announce that this year’s Kindergarten community service project was a huge success…
The children counted and organized all of the donations they collected, and were filled with such joy to be able to send the following supplies to A Baby Center last week:
They couldn’t have done it without your support – thank you to all of our families for your part in making this important initiative as impactful as it was!
A Baby Center is a Hyannis non-profit organization that helps ensure the good health and safety of babies in need on Cape Cod and the Islands.
We are so excited to share that we will be supporting A Baby Center again this year!
A Baby Center is a Hyannis non-profit organization that helps ensure the good health and safety of babies in need on Cape Cod and the Islands.
The needs of the organization have changed, therefore we will only be collecting the following items on their behalf:
Donations can be dropped off at the Fair Building, or Sanborn Building, at drop-off or pick-up time each day, or sent in with your child, so they may deliver your contribution.
We will be collecting donations from Wednesday, November 3rd through Tuesday, November 16th.
Thank you in advance for your support!
