Fuel the Firebirds 2026Fairmount Goes All InFri, Nov 13 · 6–10 PM · Mount Vernon Canyon Club
We're trading the golf course for a parents-only casino night. Table games, a silent auction, and a long-overdue evening out with other Fairmount parents — all of it supporting our school.
Closes Oct 14 at midnightThe 2026 Firebird DropNew designs · Kids & adult sizes
Every year, once a year, we drop fresh Fairmount gear — and the 2026 Firebird Drop is officially live. A brand-new collection that feels current, collegiate and comfortable, with plenty of colors and styles for both kids and grown-ups.
This is our only spiritwear drop of the year, and everything is available for a limited time. Take a look, pick your favorites and get your order in before the collection disappears!
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.

21Wed · OctFit 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.
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.

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! 🔥
