Dr. Adams recognized the Students of the Month for November at the board meeting this past Monday. Congratulations to Emma Ferrell (Kindergarten), Amelia Ortega (1st Grade), Hannah Lopez (2nd Grade), Hayley Silva (3rd Grade) and Diamond Vozza (4th Grade).
We had two special visitors at Morenci Early Learning Center today. Thank you Morenci Fire for letting Santa and the Grinch come park the sleigh at the fire station and bring them down to see our students.
Our pre-k students are loving the snow today! They're also loving warming back up with some hot coco!
Coretta Scott King once said, "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." On December 7, Fairbanks Middle School students rotated through a series of presentations centered around some of the issues that are affecting our youth and the community. We would like to thank the following community members for volunteering their time to come in and speak. Our community is a better place because you all are in it! THANK YOU!
Last night, Fairbanks 7th and 8th grade students who earned the first semester reward were taken to Tucson to watch a hockey game between the Tucson Roadrunners and the Ontario Reign. One of the best parts of our older students' reward trips is seeing their faces, as many of them are experiencing some things for the first time. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, WILDCATS!
Bring your littles this Saturday to see Santa! We are happy to announce that we have lowered the fees. Start time is at 8 am in the MHS MPR. It will be a fun time for all!!

Making it to the state championship is not an easy feat. It takes hours, weeks, months, and years to prepare for this. This is an example of championship character - courage, compassion, perseverance, belief in oneself and the team, sacrifice, integrity, and respect - it’s a dedication and trust to the process the coaches prep every week.
Saturday's 2A Championship Game will be talked about for a long time. While it didn’t end the way we hoped - Morenci is beaming with pride. To our athletes, thank you for giving your heart and soul to the game. To Coach Garcia and the MHS Coaching Staff - you are difference makers - influencing student-athletes on and off the field. To the Wildcat community - thank you for the support each game. You helped to create an atmosphere of positive energy - showing Arizona what football in a rural community is all about.
