Are you sporting your tutus, ties, and tennis shoes today on 2.22.22? Any way you look at it, the 6th grade staff at West Fairmont Middle School is just like a palindrome day that can be read the same way backward or forward cause they love learning!
It was all tutus, ties, and tennis shoes for 2.22.22 at Fairview Elementary today as 2nd graders celebrated this once in a lifetime opportunity to be a 2nd grader on 2.22.22! Students throughout the school were focusing on “2” with hands on math activities.
