The Fairmont it's a TK \n through eighth grade school, we have about almost 700 students to date. We are \n on the outskirts of Sanger and we've been doing our best to infuse these team \n instructors into not only our, our classrooms, but we really try to involve our \n stakeholders in the community.

So what does a student learning community? It is a, it's a \n version of PLCs.
