To the Editor:

As the school year is getting under way, the staff and students at Fairmont Elementary School are grateful for all of the donations of school supplies and winter gear.

Many community members and businesses – including Profinium Financial and Marketlink, whose staff organized supply drives – have provided school supplies for students in need. We also received many donations of winter gear for the clothing drive.

We are fortunate to be a part of such a caring community. This certainly demonstrates the Top 20 theme of “Help Others Succeed” and shows students that “You Matter.” Thank you to everyone in the community who contributes to the success of our students.
