East Fairmont Middle School in Fairmont, WV has been named one of 300 State Finalists in the 15th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition, receiving a $2.5K prize package. Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a national competition designed to empower students in grades 6-12 to unleash the power of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) to create innovative solutions addressing critical issues in their local communities. The competition empowers public middle and high school students to catalyze change by applying Problem-based Learning (PBL) principles, environmental stewardship, and social impact entrepreneurship to address some of society's most pressing challenges. Gen Z and Gen Alpha students participating in this year’s competition have boldly entered their game-changing ideas to tackle the climate crisis, mental health and wellness, school safety, and more. Their projects also harness emerging technologies such as AI, 3D printing, and robotics to drive change, with applications in healthcare, accessibility, and language translation.

The school science fair will be Wednesday, November 20th during the school day. Students can bring their projects into school on Tuesday during school until 4 pm or Wednesday morning.

Last Veteran's Day, East Fairmont Middle School set up a field of flags to honor veterans and raised funds to support these heroes, and this year we hope to add to it! We were able to raise $520 last year and were hoping to exceed that amount this year with your help! Each flag is $10, and proceeds are sent to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) foundation for life changing services for veterans in need and their families. Every flag in our field will represent one veteran—and our unwavering commitment to serving all veterans after they’ve sacrificed so much for our country. You can use the link below to donate or send in the $10 with your student to the office. Feel free to share this post so that we can get as many donations as possible by the deadline of October 25th! https://support.dav.org/participant/East-Fairmont-Middle-School

East Fairmont Middle School students will be taking their writing assessments tomorrow morning. All students need to have their Chromebooks charged and be sure to be in the school building by 7:15 am tomorrow or else they will have to make up the test and have to complete make up work for the classes they miss to do so. Students may bring their own personal WIRED ear buds to use for testing if they wish.

The 5th grade permission slips for the December field trip to the CAC is due tomorrow. Please make sure your child turns it in if they have not already done so.

Picture retake day is this Wednesday, 11/15. If your student needs to retake their photo or if they missed picture day back in September, they should pick up a picture day form from the office on Monday or Tuesday.
