Fundraising

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year, FSK families!

My name is Tiffany Hoong, and I’ll be your VP of Fundraising on the FSK PTA Board this year. This is my first year on the Board, and I am so proud to be part of the FSK community! I have two kids at FSK, Aubrey, a 5th grader, and Ava, a 3rd grader. I’m excited to work with all of you to continue supporting a strong, connected community and to meet our PTA’s Fundraising goal to support our amazing public school this year together.

FSK is truly a special community of people: educators, staff, students, and families. What I notice here in FSK during my five years is that we build friendships. FSK hosts playdates and family events throughout the school year. My 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 me proud to be an FSK parent.

Our fundraising budgets are always used to support our school with technology updates and licenses, classroom supplies, grade-level support programs, our Garden educator, and many community-builder events. Last year we successfully reached (and surpassed!) our fundraising goal of $165,000 to support all the initiatives we needed. This year we are excited to enhance our schoolyard from the garden zone to the basketball hoops.  

There are many ways you can help us reach our goal of $165K by start supporting us NOW:

 

FSK Passport

  • We partner with local FSK family-owned businesses throughout the year to donate a portion of sales during a particular time to FSK. Be on the lookout for PTA emails/social media posts where you can enjoy a fun foodie adventure and help our school at the same time!

Back to School Fundraiser

  • Donate today! We love seeing all our students enjoy our new outdoor lunch tables and our garden, which is now being watered with our new super-cool irrigation system that’s water-efficient.  We’d like to continue appreciating our Staff with more coffee and lunches, and also provide classroom supplies, grade-level funding, and more to our staff!  These are just a few examples of how donating to our PTA can provide support to every student and educator/staff member at FSK. Every dollar makes a difference, so consider a tax-deductible donation of $500 -$1000 (per family) to help fund our many programs at FSK.  Please consider contributing any amount you’re able to give to support our amazing school.

October MOVE-A-THON!

  • Support our school by participating in our fourth Move-A-Thon! This is an annual student-led fundraiser. We will have a lot of fun prizes for everyone who participates!

October through May — Direct Donation Campaign

March 2023 — Gala and Annual Auction

  • This has been our single biggest source of fundraising revenue, along with our Direct Donation Campaign. We will have a fun evening event, online auction, and silent auction all together! Visit the Spring Gala & Auction Webpage for details from last year’s event.  

Early May — Educator/Staff Appreciation Week

  • Consider making a Direct Donation in honor of a staff member at FSK!  Let’s show our immense appreciation for our amazing, tireless educators and staff and support their needs for classroom supplies and grade-level funding, especially in this difficult pandemic year!  Donate online at bit.ly/fskdonate  OR  if you prefer donating by Check (made to ‘FSK PTA’, please email me at fundraisingvp@fskey.org.  Thank you!
