The School Board Meeting for Tuesday, December 10th originally scheduled at 5:15 pm will now begin at 5:30 pm.
This adjustment is due to a shortened agenda and the requirement for the Truth in Taxation hearing to start after 6:00 pm.

Fairmont and Blue Earth Area High Schools partnered together and trained to become each site's Project Trust Team this week. The teams are trained by Project Trust writers and founders, the Illusion Theater of Minneapolis. Blue Earth is in their 33rd year of performing, while Fairmont is their longest running troop, having had a Project Trust Team for 40 years!

Congratulations to Wendi Tonder, Teacher of the Year!
We are proud to recognize Wendi Tonder as this year’s Teacher of the Year! Wendi’s passion for education shines through her dedication to students, colleagues, and the community. As a junior high teacher, she inspires students with hands-on learning in life skills such as cooking, sewing, personal finance, and good citizenship. Through her innovative Cadet Teaching program, Wendi mentors aspiring educators, providing real-world teaching experiences that shape future leaders.
Beyond her classroom, Wendi’s leadership, creativity, and collaboration with colleagues and community members make her an invaluable role model. Her creation of the FACS Squad has fostered meaningful connections and enriched countless lives.
