FAIRMONT PREPARATORY ACADEMY, ANAHEIM, CA
NOVEMBER 2013
PARTICIPATE IN PREP PLUS!
By Milan Mistry
As October draws to a close and the
school year begins in earnest, student life
at Fairmont Prep balances with academia
to produce a vibrant, colorful atmosphere.
So far there have been many great events
this year, including the new iPad based
curriculum, the influx of school spirit,
homecoming, and the football games. In
addition, the new and improved Prep Plus
Program has been in action this year with a
plethora of changes and wonderful new
classes. Prep Plus offers many activities
that bring together students to participate
in sports, academics, the arts, and even
robotics. This year, more and more
students have joined the Prep Plus
Program and shown lively school spirit in
participating in the surplus of after school
activities our school has to offer. Prep Plus
also serves to accommodate many tutoring
centers for all subjects; allowing students
to seek help from teachers and other
students with their studies. AP Chemistry
student Michelle Phan states, "The Prep
Plus Chemistry class is extremely
beneficial, I get to seek additional help
from previous AP students, and further my
understanding of the subject." Besides
academics, there are many other after
school programs to be offered at
Fairmont. For example, many eager
students flocked to the First Robotics
Competition club. Essentially, these
students will work together to seek
sponsors, build robots, and compete
in competitions. According to FRC
member Jia Xuan Li, "FRC is a fun and
interactive after school activity that lets
robot enthusiasts such as myself compete
and learn about robotics with my friends."
Likewise, students can join the App
Discovery Club, play basketball, or even
take a dance class with Prep Plus. All in all,
with the numerous additions to this year's
after school programs, Prep Plus has
served to be a magnificent success for
both the students and the faculty alike.
