First ever Fairview Heights Tree Lighting Festival tomorrow from 3-7. Looks to be a great day for this family event. Come find NJHS in the family fun zone and say Hi!


A huge thank you to Organic Life for donating a Redbud tree to Ella’s garden and for coming out to help us get it planted. Also we want to thank Forest ReLeaf, an organization in Missouri that donates trees and shrubs to schools, parks and community gardens. They gave us a second Redbud, a Serviceberry tree and two spicebush shrubs. We look forward to the butterflies and birds visiting these new additions to the garden. We appreciate Ms. Riley helping us get everything planted before the cold weather!



Recognizing more of our Grant Middle School students and staff for doing kind things. Had a great day... The Grant Way!
