👋 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! 🔥
