Dear Fairfield families: If your child is in grades 1st through 11th they will be bringing a form home for a Jackie Stiles basketball camp that we are having here at our school. Please consider looking at it and signing your child up if they are interested. This is a great opportunity for our students here at Fairfield. We ask to have the forms turned back in by May 2nd. Middle school and high school students can turn the form into the high school office and elementary students need to turn the form into their teacher.”
