๐ Every date โ school and PTA โ is in Upcoming Events in the sidebar, and you can subscribe to it from there.
๐ Proudly serving our Firebirds in Golden, Colorado. We're your all-volunteer PTA โ 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 โ 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 โ whether you join, give, or lend an hour. It all lands on our kids. Every Child. One Voice. Go Firebirds! ๐ฅ
Volunteer with Fairmount PTA
Every event, every classroom celebration, every "can someone help with…" runs on parents like you. No committees required, no year-long commitment — just grab what fits your schedule. Even one hour makes a real difference.
Sign up now — open opportunities
Our biggest night of the year needs a crew.
Fairmount Goes All In is our adults-only casino night and fall fundraiser — Friday, November 13, 6:00–10:00 p.m. at Mount Vernon Canyon Club. It takes a crew to pull it off, and every open spot is listed on the sign-up. Grab one that fits, or take a friend and sign up together.
Can't make it that night? You can still help — donate a silent auction item.
1. Not sure where you fit? Tell us your interests
Take the 2-minute volunteer survey
Let us know the areas you'd love to help with and we'll reach out when something matches — no pressure, no commitment.
2. Open coordinator roles (2026–2027)
Ready for a bigger role? These spots are open right now — and we'll support you every step of the way.
Be the friendly point person for your child's grade — help organize meet-ups and rally your grade's families. Two spots left: 1st grade and 5th grade.
Help plan the special send-off for our graduating 5th graders.
Learn the website, email, and PTA tools alongside our current coordinator. No tech background needed — just curiosity.
Work alongside our current coordinator through this year's auction — gathering donations, organizing items, and helping run the big night — so you're ready to take the lead next year.
3. Committees seeking extra hands
Want to plug into a team? These committees would love more help:
When parents get involved in their children's education, good things happen — and it doesn't take much.
Kids do better
When parents get involved, grades go up, test scores rise, and behavior improves.
Every hour counts
No big commitment needed — even one hour makes a real difference.
