Fairmount Park Community Newsletter

to connect every child to themselves, others, and possibilities

Hello Fairmount Park Families!

November has been full of fun and connection for our students and community. We’ve celebrated kindness, honored our veterans, and even launched a new robotics program for 4th graders through SPS—so exciting!

Next week, teachers will be meeting with families to talk about student strengths and progress. Our goal is to connect with every family, so if the available times don’t work for you, please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule a time that does.

In Partnership,

Sara Davis

November 13 was World Kindness Day. Ms. Wilkie's class celebrated the day by spreading messages of kindness throughout the school.

Ms. Sisson's class celebrated Kindness day the week before by delivering 'Lost and Found' items back to their marked and rightful owners.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for November 21-26.

Friday November 21: Preview Day (each class will have an opportunity to visit the fair during school to shop and make wish lists)

Monday November 24: Open 7:25 a.m.-6 p.m.

Tuesday November 25: Open 7:25 a.m.-4 p.m.

Wednesday November 26: Open 7:55 a.m.-2:55 p.m.

I will need volunteers to make this event a success! I’m looking for family members who can help set up the fair on Thursday November 20 after school from 2:30-4 p.m.. I also need volunteers during the fair to help run the cash registers (see the hours above). Finally, I’m looking for a few volunteers to help me pack up the fair on Monday December 1st. Please reach out if you are interested in helping cahalladin@seattleschools.org!

Thank you to the PTA for a wonderful and fun Falcon Fest! Students and family came to Fairmount Park to enjoy friends, activities, and fabulous food trucks. Thank you to the PTA organizers and volunteers that mad such a fun community night!
