The Fairmount student council recently sponsored an effort to collect games, sports equipment, snacks, toiletries, books, magazines, phone cards,and homemade letters and cards for soldiers who have been deployed overseas. Fairmount families and staff members generously answered the children’s call to support our troops, and the student council collected eight boxes of “goodies” to send off to the courageous men and women serving in the armed forces. Sen. Kirk Dillard even stopped by to view the many items collected and congratulate the students on their efforts!
