FMS names Students of Month

Each school month, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in Fairfield sponsors the Fairfield Middle School ?Students of the Month? award to acknowledge positive contributions of FMS students at school.

These positive contributions range from assisting teachers and peers in classroom activities to displaying characteristics as a role model in and out of the classroom. The Students of the Month certificates are awarded after a nomination and voting process is completed by each grade-level teaching team.

The Students of the Month for May are:
