Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year, FSK Families!
FSK is truly a special community of people: educators, staff, students, and families. Here, we build friendships. The FSK PTA hosts playdates and family events throughout the school year. Our kids always look forward to these events—it gives them a sense of community and deepens their friendship with their schoolmates. Seeing them grow in an environment that embraces community makes us proud to be an FSK parent.
Our Goal This Year: $250,000
Every dollar we raise goes directly to supporting our school with technology updates and licenses, classroom supplies, grade-level programs, our Garden educator, and community-building events. Last year we successfully reached (and surpassed!) our $165,000 goal. This year, we’re excited to enhance our schoolyard from the garden zone to the basketball hoops—and we need your help to make it happen.
How You Can Help (Start Today!)
1. Join the PTA — Be Part of Our Community
Your membership matters. When you join the PTA, you’re not just supporting fundraising—you’re becoming an active part of the FSK community that makes our school special.
2. Make a Direct Donation
Soar Higher Fundraiser — Active Through November
Your contributions help us provide outdoor lunch tables, our garden with its water-efficient irrigation system, staff appreciation with coffee and lunches, classroom supplies, and grade-level funding. These donations support every student and educator at FSK.
Consider a tax-deductible donation of $500-$1,000 per family, or any amount you’re able to give. Every dollar makes a difference.
