We’re continuing to spotlight school fundraisers after receiving announcements seeking community support. This one’s from the Fairmount Park Elementary PTA:
Fairmount Park Elementary PTA Blue Envelope Fundraiser
The Fairmount Park Elementary PTA is holding our Annual Blue Envelope Fundraising Drive through November 30th. Every dollar raised goes directly to our school to make it such a special place for our kids. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to fund programs that enrich our children’s education including:
Math and Reading Support Staff
Instrumental Music Program
Classroom Teachers Grants
Food Support Program
Extra Counselor and Librarian Time
Art, Music, PE and Library Programs
Assemblies and School Events
Afterschool Enrichment ScholarshipsEvery child deserves a school experience that goes beyond the basics. In Washington State, education funding has declined as a percentage of the overall state budget and Seattle Public Schools has an ongoing budget crisis. PTA funding gives the school the capacity to fill in the gaps and continue to support every student the best we can. Beyond our ongoing needs, this year we have doubled the number of families who requested food support and have a record amount of enrichment need-based scholarship requests.

Please consider giving; every dollar makes a difference. As a 501c3 non-profit organization, donations to the Fairmount Park PTA are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law. We also welcome matching funds; please check if your employer supports matching your gift.
