History

In 1976, Fullerton Elementary School was established.  The school colours are green and yellow, and the mascot is a mouse.  As of 2014, the school served 553 pre-K-to-fifth-grade students and employed thirty-three teachers.[1]  The attendance rate in 2011 and 2012 was equal to or greater than 95 percent.[2]  Every Independence Day, a fireworks show is put on at Fullerton Park, a field adjacent to the school.2013 Schedule of Fireworks Displays,

The movie theatre Beltway Movies 6 (located in the Belair Beltway Plaza shopping centre) was featured in the 2000 John Waters film Cecil B. Demented.

There was a major fire at an empty building owned by the Schmidt Baking Company on Fitch Lane in Fullerton in April, 2008.[3]

In 2013, police received numerous complaints about rowdy teens being loud and destructive around a roller rink known as Skate Land, located behind the local Denny's.[4]  The troubles prompted the county to withhold renewal of the venue's amusement hall license; the county had also threatened to revoke the hall's skating license.[5]  After negotiations with the county, Skate Land is now only permitted to hold parties and events Monday through Thursday, and only until 9 P.M.[6]
