As a part of their English unit on The Human Connection, sophomores read several pieces that take place during WW2. These pieces include works such as The Book Thief and Night. Both of these pieces require understanding the impact and events of this moment in world history. In order to build background information students were able to explore places like the United States Holocaust Museum, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp site, and the Anne Frank house using Meta Quest VR headsets. This technology allowed students to view these locations in a 360, interactive view.

Each week, Fairbury Public Schools wants to dedicate some time to celebrate seniors. These will be shared as they are submitted by the graduating class. Our twelfth Senior Spotlight for 2023-24 is Sam Bedlan. Congratulations  Sam!

Today in science, the third graders continued their unit on forces. The kids had to balance card stock robots on different tools such as pencils, paper clips, and tongue depressors.
