👋 Look for your grade-level stickers — the easiest way to find the other parents in your child's grade. If you're new to Fairmount, start there.
👕 Spirit Wear Exchange — outgrown or ready to replace some spirit wear? Drop lightly used items in the donation bin in the office. Everything collected will be available at the Bash for exchange or a suggested donation.
🐉 Reading Bingo turn-in — if your child finished a column on their Kenny & the Dragon bingo sheet, bring it to the Bash and trade it in for a prize.
🙋 Can you spare 30 minutes? We still need hands at the Bash — shifts are short and you'll still get to enjoy the party.

The PTA's guide to all things Fairmount — everything you actually want to know, in one place. New or returning, this one's for you.
Open the Welcome Packet16Wed · Sept Fit Fun Club is Back!2:45–3:45 PM ›
We're excited to have the YMCA Youth Sports Program run a Basketball Academy. Join us right after school!
16Wed · Sept PTA Meeting — Screens, School & Home5:30–6:30 PM · Fairmount Library ›
Our second general meeting of the year. PTA business first, then guest speakers from Jeffco Student Technology Services on screen time in the elementary years — how devices are used in K–5 classrooms, what filtering the district has in place, and building healthy habits at home.
Food provided. Kid care and a virtual option are both in the works — RSVP opens soon.
22Tue · Sept Spirit Night — Skate City6:00–8:00 PM · GLOW skate + free ice cream ›
Our first Spirit Night of the year! Lace up for a GLOW skate with the Firebird crew, and free ice cream while you're there.
Here's the catch: Fairmount only earns a kickback if we hit a minimum number of paid skaters — so you count! Invite your neighbors, cousins, friends and teammates. All friends of Fairmount are welcome. Let's pack the place and support our school!
📌 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! 🔥
