Friends of Fairfield School (FOFS)

Mission Statement

The FOFS (Friends of Fairfield School) committee is passionate about our school and the Fairfield community. We hope that our members will pool a wealth of knowledge, talents and skills to enhance the educational, social and environmental opportunities available to our children.

Objectives

• To raise funds to carry out projects not directly funded by Board of Trustees, Ministry of Education or Government by bringing together parents and teachers and working towards a common goal.
• To run social events for parents and children; providing an opportunity for people to get to know each other and have fun.
• To encourage parents to become more involved with their children's school and to develop strong links between home and school.
• To provide support for school events and other special occasions.
• To provide support to families in need in our school community.

FOFS have recently purchased the following items to support Fairfield School children:

• Basketball hoops
• Sports equipment
• Swimming lessons
• Numeracy resources
