This Month with the PTA
7Wed · Oct Spirit Night — Raising Cane's4:00–8:00 PM · Wheat Ridge ›

Skip cooking on a Wednesday and let Raising Cane's handle dinner. A portion of what our Firebird families spend comes back to Fairmount — so tell them you're with Fairmount when you order. Dine in, carry out, or drive through.

12Mon · Oct Fall Break — No SchoolMonday Oct 12 & Tuesday Oct 13 ›

No school for students on either day — plan ahead for childcare.

21Wed · Oct Fit Fun Club — Martial Arts2:45–3:45 PM · right after school ›

This month's Fit Fun Club is run by Personal Achievement Martial Arts, one of our Platinum sponsors. An hour of moving, learning something new, and burning off the afternoon — no experience needed.

22Thu · Oct Spirit Night — Bliss Frozen Yogurt12:00–9:00 PM · Arvada ›

All afternoon and into the evening — a nine-hour window, so there's no excuse about timing. Bliss sends a share of the day's Fairmount sales back to us. Mention Fairmount at the register.

27Tue · Oct PTA Volunteer Orientation5:30–7:00 PM · at Fairmount ›

Thinking about helping but not sure where you'd fit? Come find out. We'll walk through what the PTA actually does, the roles that need people, and how much time each one really takes.

No commitment required — come listen, ask questions, and decide later.

30Fri · Oct Halloween Parade & PartiesMorning — time to be announced ›

The parade is in the morning, with classroom parties to follow. Exact timing is still being set — watch The Firebird Flyer for it.

📅 Every date — school and PTA — is in Upcoming Events in the sidebar, and you can subscribe to it from there.

Where your money goes

👋 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.

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 — 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! 🔥

 CAMPBELL-DEANE SCHOLARSHIP

Class of 2026 Applications must be received by Friday, April 17, 2026. 

Dowload Information 

 

  

The Fairmount Elementary School PTA is again offering the CAMPBELL-DEANE SCHOLARSHIP for $2,500.00 for tuition to be awarded to one high school senior selected by our committee. This scholarship is available to any high school senior who has been enrolled at Fairmount Elementary School for three years or more, has a satisfactory grade standing, a strong citizenship record, and experience in community service.

 

We want to emphasize that this scholarship is specifically intended for young individuals with a strong record of citizenship and positive community service experiences. Scholastic standing is important, but not the determining factor.

 

This scholarship is for any college or trade school of the recipient's choice.

The scholarship is not available to persons receiving full or substantial scholarships, unless the need is imperative.

  

 

 

 

 

 

Interested applicants should:

 

1. Apply with a letter only. The letter of application should include plans for higher education and career, the name of the college or trade school you plan to attend, school and community activities, and any other relevant information. Please, don’t include pictures.

 

2. Include a copy of your high school transcript with GPA (a 1st-semester senior transcript is acceptable), a letter of recommendation from your high school counselor or teacher, and any other pertinent letters of recommendation.

 

3. Provide your address, phone number, the dates you attended Fairmount, and the names of teachers from the last three years of attendance.

 

Email your application letter and attachments to: scholarship@fairmountpta.org
