As of January 12, Erie still holds the title of the Snowiest City in the Nation! To date, Erie has accumulated over 91 inches of snow far surpassing the seasonal average of 47.4 inches. Last year, the coldest day in January was 7 degrees. Now, we consider that “warm.” The snowstorms that stretched throughout the region brought Fairview temperatures into the forty below zero range.
Fairview closed its doors on Tuesday, January 7 due to extremely cold weather conditions. The temperature was -12 degrees, but the windchill was in the -20 degree range. Fairview, Pennsylvania has experienced some of the coldest winter days it has seen in years. Mrs. Martter said, “I cannot remember the last time Fairview closed for winter weather conditions.”
Bundle up and stay warm, everyone!

December Follow-Up
Student Council strikes again! To spread holiday cheer and school spirit, Student Council put together a week full of festive activities and dress up days. The Holiday Spirit Week was held from December 16-20, the week leading up to Christmas break.Monday was “Red and Green Day,” Tuesday was “How The Grinch Stole Christmas Day,” Wednesday was “Ugly Sweater Day,” Thursday was “Elf on the Shelf Day,” and Friday was “The Night Before Christmas Day.” The main activities included a “Deck the Door” competition and Christmas cartoons playing on the slideshow during lunches.
Mr. Bookhamer’s door “revved” the competition coming in first place with “Santa’s Launching Pad.” Mr. Meighen’s classroom snuggled in close taking second place with a “homey” approach including a fireplace and children reading. Mr. Drabina’s classroom did not stray from his holiday reputation; the classroom was strung with Christmas lights, covered in snowflakes, filled with stockings, and topped off with a tree, reindeer, and train!
Mr. Mummert won the Ugly Sweater Contest with his decked out attire. One of the most creative sweaters came from Mrs. Froehlich with her baby bump wrapped as a present!
The Spanish and French Club tradition of caroling took place on Friday, December 20. Fairview’s hallways were filled with holiday tunes! Thank you to all who participated. RPM 156
On January 4th, 2014, our robotics team, Robotics Plus Mayhem, along with about 2,500 other teams around the world, participated in “Kick-off.” At this world-wide meeting, we learned of the game (titled Aerial Assist) as well as the rules, requirements, and deadlines. Following this meeting, our team has 6 weeks to design, build, and program our robot to complete the tasks of the game. For this year’s game, we need to be able to pick up a 2-foot diameter ball off the floor, catch an aerial ball, and throw the ball towards a goal. In order to come up with a final design, we have to prototype to know what does and doesn’t work. We have designed and tested two different throwing mechanisms that both work on pneumatics. One throws overhand and the other throws underhand. The overhand throw gave us more height and longer distance, so is therefore the design we are leaning towards for our final product. Once prototyping is complete and we know precisely what works and what we want to do, we will build our final product. While the robot is being prototyped and designed downstairs, some of us go upstairs and work on written awards and our website. We are making great progress by getting essays written, finalizing a business plan, planning different marketing strategies and continuing to update our website (http://www.rpm156.com/). As a team, we meet six days a week and although it is quite the commitment, our efforts are paying off as we make great progress upstairs and down in the building rooms. We will be competing alongside at least 45 other teams at the Greater Pittsburgh Regional competition in late March.

Photography by definition is the art or night. The segment of the project was practice of using light to create an image, difficult, I wanted to show the contrast but photography for me is much more night has with day but I also wanted to than that. Photography is a way for me capture the soft tones and hazy feeling. to share my emotions and feelings with I shot things like street lights, different people that I could not have the chance colored lights at night, and projected light. to do without my camera. For my Photo I also incorporated different techniques III experience I took my photographs to and principles of design, such as shape, the next level. I accomplished this by direction, texture and value. These pursuing the theme of Radiance. When techniques help make photographs more hearing the word radiance I think of warm appealing to the eye. I did not stick to cheerful memories. All of my photographs one subject in my photos, I shoot nature, have a soft lighting effect, warm colors portraits and even landscapes to make and a hazy tone. In each of my images my theme have more depth. Many people I focused on capturing light directly, go through life not taking in the beauty whether it was actual sunlight or artificial around them, I would like to show them light, some kind of light is present. I also that beauty when they look at my images, used photoshop effects to make it appear and highlight the radiance that surrounds that the photograph was softer and had us each day in all things. no harsh lines.

UPDATE IN ATTENDANCE POLICY
Parents, please be aware of a very important attendance policy. As found in the Student Handbook, “A student who is absent from a given class (without a doctor’s excuse) more than ten times will receive NO CREDIT for the course. Absence due to participation in school sanctioned activities is not counted for this. Also, students will receive NO CREDIT for a course if they are illegally absent more than 3 times. Such lack of credit for courses could prohibit a student to qualify for graduation with their class.” E-Books and Digital AudioBooks Check out FHS Library e-books and digital audiobooks! Here’s how…

ENGLISH
Miss Di Luzio
January has proved to be a transitional month. With the exit of AP Literature and Composition and Applied English IV students and the entrance of my CP English IV students, the classroom dynamic shifts. My previous students and I concluded the semester with Hamlet, post-secondary preparations, and mini lessons covering items that I wanted the students to be aware of as developing active society members. We considered The Gaslight Anthem’s The ’59 Sound to be a modern Hamlet soliloquy-esque song culminating the death theme of the AP class.
The change has been bittersweet. My former students are greatly missed, and nevertheless I anticipate an excellent semester with my current students. There are emerging personalities that will surely be conducive to learning and having fun. (Yes, English is fun.) Moreover, having previous students come back as independent studies and teacher assistants has been a wonderful addition to the bustling January progression! Come and get one!
Yearbook sales are still going on! The current price is $63.60 and the book can be ordered at www.yearbookordercenter.com with order number 13846. Contact Mr. Meighen ([email protected]) with any questions!

Envirothon is a club that focuses studies on Pennsylvania’s environment. There are five areas of focus that students study to prepare for a competition in May. Forestry focuses on the trees and invasive plant species of the area. Aquatics concentration fish and macroinvertebrates of the waterways. This section also focuses studies on identifying salamanders, frogs, and snakes. Wildlife focuses on hunting laws, bird calls, and identifying furs of animals and the habitats in which they live. Soil studies helps students classify soil types. The final topic of study deals with a Current Issue, and this topic changes yearly. This year, the current issue topic is sustainable farming. We have guest speakers coming in to discuss farming methods, and we plan regular field trips to allow students to appreciate the beauty of PA’s environment. Envirothon is a team-oriented club with a great dedication to Pennsylvania’s environment.
The Envirothon Club excels in helping individuals achieve their fullest potential in the environmental field.

Testimonial Creative Productions is hands down the best class I have ever taken, and I can say this now that the course is over and not sound like a kiss-up. Creative Productions has taught me skills that has made me such a better person. All the students in the class learned the Audacity, MovieMaker, movie making, and interview skills, but Creative Productions has done much more for me than that. When I was going through the class I did not realize it but it has made me more outgoing, more confident, and has made me more determined to strive for goals and work towards accomplishments. I was talking to my mom the other day about my courses for next year and she asked if it was possible to take creative productions again. And I responded with “why would I take that class again it would just be the same thing again”. And she told me that after this class she has seen such a change in me and that I have become such a well- rounded person and she believes that it is due to Creative Productions. My mother said I have become so comfortable in my own skin and that I am more likely to go up to people and strike up a conversation or ask them to do something; she also was telling me that she thinks due to this class I am more willing to push myself further outside my comfort zone and do things that she didn’t think I was able to do. Being still somewhat of a new student this class was very helpful in that sense, it is a great class that will help students and improve their outlook of themselves and their lives in general. This class was great and I hope it continues. Thank you for everything you have taught me over the semester.
