New National PTA School of Excellence
Fairmount PTA is working toward the National PTA School of Excellence designation, and gathering family feedback is a required part of the program. The survey comes from National PTA, and your answers help us see where our school–family partnership is strongest and where we can grow β€” then shape our plan for the year ahead. It only takes a few minutes, and it closes December 15.

Welcome, Firebird Families

We're glad you're here.

New to Fairmount or back for another year, this is the PTA's corner of the internet. Here's what's coming up, and the links worth bookmarking for the year.

6Fri Β· Nov Grandview Holiday WishesSign-ups open Β· holiday gifts for local seniors β€Ί

For more than 50 years, Fairmount families have brought holiday gifts to the residents of a local senior living community. You may know it as Mountain Vista β€” it's been renamed Grandview, but it's the same place and the same tradition.

Choose a wish, bring the gift to school, and our volunteers take care of the delivery. See the wishes and sign up Β»

12Thu Β· Nov Spirit Night β€” Urban Air Westminster4:00–8:00 PM Β· 7025 W 88th Ave, Westminster β€Ί

Say "Spirit Night" at the counter when you buy your tickets β€” that's what makes it count.

20% of every ticket (about $4 a jumper) comes back to Fairmount. A good way to wear the kids out the night before All In.

13Fri Β· Nov Fairmount Goes All In6–10 PM Β· Mount Vernon Canyon Club β€Ί

Our parents-only casino night β€” plus the silent auction, which opens online Fri, Nov 6 at 9 AM and closes at the party at 9 PM. Tickets, sponsorships and volunteer spots are all in the Featured card above.

18Wed Β· Nov General Meeting5:30–6:30 PM Β· Fairmount library β€Ί

We'll have a guest speaker this month β€” details coming soon. Child care is provided, so bring the kids along.

18Wed Β· Nov Spirit Night β€” Buffalo Wild Wings Arvada11:00 AM–11:30 PM Β· 15570 W 64th Ave, Arvada β€Ί

Tell your server or cashier "Fundraiser Spirit Night". There's no online code, so carry-out has to be ordered in person.

Fairmount gets 10% of the bill once we reach $300 in sales together, so this one really does need a crowd. It's the same day as the General Meeting β€” wings before or after?

23Mon Β· Nov Thanksgiving Break β€” No SchoolMon, Nov 23 – Fri, Nov 27 Β· back Mon, Nov 30 β€Ί

No school all week. Enjoy the time together β€” we're grateful for every one of you.

πŸ“… Every date β€” school and PTA β€” is in Upcoming Events in the sidebar, and you can subscribe to it from there.

Where your money goes

πŸ‘‹ Proudly serving our Firebirds in Golden, Colorado. We're your all-volunteer PTA β€” a 501(c)(3) partnering with families, teachers and staff to make every child's potential a reality.

Here's how this year's budget breaks down.

In the classroom39%
Grade-level support, field trips, classroom parties, books
School-wide projects32%
Building and playground improvements, scholarship, angel fund
Thanking teachers & staff14%
Staff appreciation, meals, spirit shirts
Events for families10%
Back to School Bash, Field Day, Talent Show, 5th grade send-off
Keeping the PTA running5%
Administration, insurance, and our state and national PTA dues

Wondering why we ask you to join and to give? Your $22 membership doesn't buy the field trip. It buys the organization that makes the field trip possible β€” the legal standing, the insurance, the volunteers, the vote. Then the other 95% of our budget pays for the trip.

Every family makes Fairmount stronger β€” whether you join, give, or lend an hour. It all lands on our kids. Every Child. One Voice. Go Firebirds! πŸ”₯
