Fairmont strives to foster a culture of inclusion, equity, and compassion for our diverse students and families. We want all kids to feel safe and supported. Please see the programs, clubs, and committees below that help us do this.
The Fairmont edible garden was previously an unused, ivy-covered plot located outside the kindergarten classrooms. Thanks to the vision and hard work of parent volunteers and teachers, the garden is now transformed into an outdoor classroom that allows for hands on science exploration and education to take place in school.
