Hello Washington Wildcat Families!

Thank you for joining the Washington Elementary PTA. We hope to help you feel more connected to your family’s school community in whatever ways feel best for you. Look forward to clear communication and expectations, lots of fun ways to get involved, and many good times ahead! Our suggested minimum membership donation is $18 per family. Thank you for choosing to make a difference in the lives of our children.

Sincerely,

The Washington PTA Board

In an effort to provide tangible support and encouragement, Fairmont Families is launching our 5th annual "Wings of Hope" campaign. This campaign is designed to provide our school social workers with additional resources like food, clothing, gas, hygiene products, etc. for our students and families that may need some extra help during these already hard times. Approximately 85% of Fairmont's students qualify for free/reduced meals. In addition, our school has an average of 30-35+ homeless youth each year, many of whom are not living with their parents. These are our children's friends, classmates and teammates. We would like to provide 150+ gift cards, valued at $25 each, from four local merchants like Albertsons, Fred Meyer, WinCo, Walmart, Chevron's etc. To make this easy for you to help, we have set up a GoFundMe for the Wings of Hope Campaign. All you have to do is contribute $25 or $50 or whatever amount you can do. We will collect the money through the Boise School District Foundation account, where the cards will be purchased and sent back to the social workers for that tangible help. We truly appreciate all you can do and love the support our Fairmont Junior High has for each other. With Grateful hearts, THANK YOU!

This GoFundMe will be open from November 4th through December 15th. If you have any questions or want to help in other ways, please contact Ylonda Hays (208-571-4430) with Fairmont Families or Mr. Crandell (208-854-4790) at Fairmont Junior High. All donations are tax deductable!!

The Jog-a-Thon is our annual fundraiser at White Pine to support our students and teachers. 100% of the event's proceeds go directly to White Pine Students to help support our art parent program, field trips, library needs, teacher funds, etc. We appreciate your donations!

Due to the difficulties of the pandemic over the last two years, Fairmont Families has been unable to do our traditional fundraising and activities. However, now that the covid restrictions are relaxed, we are planning a few fun activities for students and staff to finish the 2021/2022 school year! Fairmont Families would like to raise enough funds to host Teacher Appreciation Week, 9th Grade Send-Off and Fun in the Sun Year End Party. This is where YOU come in! Instead of having your kids sell cookie dough or wrapping paper, we are providing a way for families to make a tax-deductible donation that will directly benefit YOUR student and teachers. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
