Join us Thursday, April 24 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This is always a festive celebration of the thirty plus countries Fairmount represents.

This year, we will have a different platform with crafts and clubs in the Flex Room from 5:30pm to 6:30pm and "Dinner Theater" in the Gym with PTSA sponsored cultural treats. the Book Fair is open the entire evening in the Library.

To honor students’ special days and support minimum disruptions to our learning environment we are implementing a new policy to provide clarity for bringing outside treats to school. 

If you would like to bring a treat to celebrate your child’s birthday, please follow these expectations:  

 

Thank you for your support and cooperation,  

Bente Klatt, Principal

if you wish to volunteer or chaperone events for your child, you must register online and be cleared two weeks before the event. The approval is valid for ONE year.

SUN Bucks provides eligible school-aged children with $120 in food benefits to buy groceries during the summer while meals aren’t available in schools. This amount will be adjusted annually for inflation. Last summer, Washington SUN Bucks provided an additional food benefit to nearly 600,000 children, the first year of the new program. The school district will upload their qualifying family data to the state in May.

If you’re already enrolled in benefits like SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR, your school-age children will automatically be enrolled in SUN Bucks if it’s available where you live. Also, if your household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals and you've already received confirmation of that, your child will automatically be enrolled in SUN Bucks.

If you are NOT automatically enrolled, you can apply for SUN Bucks directly. SUN Bucks requires students to meet Income Eligibility Guidelines. Free school meals in our district doesn't require income verification, so families must apply for the benefit if they are not already enrolled in state-provided benefits like SNAP, TANF, etc. If you have not already done so, please apply for free and reduced benefits through the Child Nutrition Benefit Application on the district's Nutrition Services Free Meals webpage.

Once you’re enrolled, SUN Bucks may be automatically added to your SNAP account, issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, or sent in other ways depending on where you live. SUN Bucks cards will be mailed to the address on file at DSHS or at the child's school, or the address listed on the application. Families should be sure their address is correct at both locations.
