🍽️ Food provided. 👧 Kid care in the gym for potty-trained kiddos — RSVP opens soon.
Lace up for a GLOW skate with the Firebird crew! Here's the catch: if we don't hit Skate City's minimum number of paid skaters, Fairmount doesn't get anything. So bring your friends — and YES, you count! Neighbors, cousins, teammates: all friends of Fairmount are welcome.

📌 School heads-up: The School Accountability Committee meets Monday, Sept 21, 5:30–6:30 PM at Fairmount. It's a school committee rather than a PTA one, but the meetings are open and worth knowing about.
📅 Every date — school and PTA — is in Upcoming Events in the sidebar, and you can subscribe to it from there.
👋 Proudly serving our Firebirds in Golden, Colorado. We're your all-volunteer PTA — 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.
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 — 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 — whether you join, give, or lend an hour. It all lands on our kids. Every Child. One Voice. Go Firebirds! 🔥
