Today, we say goodbye but never farewell to an incredible member of the Fairbanks family, Mrs. Abell, as she begins her well-deserved retirement after 26 amazing years with IPS, including 16 unforgettable years at Fairbanks 105.
Mrs. Abell has been so much more than a social worker. She has been a listening ear, a comforting presence, a fierce advocate for students, and a source of strength and compassion for countless families and staff members. Her kindness, dedication, and unwavering love for our students have left a lasting mark on this building and everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Thank you, Mrs. Abell, for every hug, every encouraging word, every long day, and every life you helped change along the way. Fairbanks will truly not be the same without you. Your impact will continue to live on in the hearts of the students, families, and colleagues youβve touched over the years.
We will miss you dearly, but we are so excited for this next chapter of your life. Enjoy your retirement, relax, travel, laugh often, and take this time to truly live life to the fullest; you have more than earned it!
Congratulations, Mrs. Abell, and thank you for everything. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger! β€οΈπ

What an AMAZING day at Field Day at Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105! βοΈπ
After years without one, Fairbanks officially brought Field Day back, and it was everything we hoped it would be and more! From exciting games and relay races to nonstop laughter, teamwork, and school spirit, our students had an unforgettable day filled with fun, energy, and smiles from start to finish.
We also have to give a huge shoutout to the weather for cooperating just long enough for us to enjoy every moment outdoors! π€οΈπ
A very special THANK YOU goes to our P.E. teacher Ms. Cordes for organizing and planning such an incredible event. Your hard work, creativity, and dedication made the entire day run smoothly and created memories our students will be talking about for a long time!
Thank you as well to the phenomenal staff at Fairbanks and all of our amazing volunteers who stepped in to help make the day such a success.
Seeing our students laughing, encouraging one another, competing, and simply enjoying being kids made the entire day worthwhile. The positive energy across the campus was unmatched!
Field Day is officially BACK at Fairbanks, and after the success of today, we are already counting down the days until next year! π―πββοΈ
