Fairmount Park Community Newsletter

to connect every child to themselves, others, and possibilities

Hello Fairmount Park Families,

There's always a lot happening at Fairmount Park! Students learn and share learning through multiple modes of expression. 5th graders experienced hands-on learning, all students are learning through observation of our salmon babies, and we learn from each other at our weekly assembly.

As a community we aim to value each other's gifts and the myriad ways we share them.

In Partnership,

Sara Davis

Falcon 1 and Ms. Xena's class gave a performance that highlighted how as individuals we all contribute to a safe environment. Students acted out common unsafe conflicts and how to resolve safely and with the good of the community.

Save the date for our 2nd Annual Fairmount Family Feast! This event is an all inclusive celebration of the gifts and beauty of our diverse community! Please plan to join us for this fun community event!

Date: March 27, 2026

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Who: Everyone!

Our immigrant students and families are valued and beloved members of our SPS community. We are committed to ensuring our schools are places of safety and belonging for every student. We understand that in the current landscape, fears and concerns about immigration enforcement in our city are heightened.

Families and community members can find additional resources for supports on our website. These include links to know your rights materials, the City’s rapid response program, legal resources, and family preparedness planning.

Emergency resources can also be found by calling 844-724-3737 to report immigration enforcement activity or get connected to emergency resources.

We are continuing to work on additional systems and supports for our schools and families.

An unfortunate part of the childhood experience is getting sick. Nurse Lucie reminds us that kids can still come to school as long as they adhere to specific guidelines. See the SPS graphic below for guidance on when to send your child to school.

This week, we celebrate our amazing school counselor, Ms. Soto, and the vital role she plays in supporting students’ academic success, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being. Ms. Soto helps students navigate friendships, feelings, and challenges while building skills that last a lifetime. We are so grateful for her care, expertise, and dedication to our school community.

Ms. Wilkie and Ms. Ravenscroft took their 5th graders to Islandwood for outdoor school last week. Students experience hands on learning about the ecology of the Northwest. They also have opportunities to grow their collaboration skills in an outdoor setting. These experiences create bonding opportunities as a cohort, and also develop core memories for students.

Ms. Ravenscroft's class performed a lab investigating liquids and how it is changed by additives. (salt, sugar, citric acid, etc...) They observed the changes both visually and through taste.

Our Fairmount Park PTA hosted our annual Glow Party on Friday. DJ Baby van Beezly volunteered their services to create an exciting and fun dance party atmosphere where students and families danced and participated in other 'glowy' activities, including glow-in-the-dark face painting!

Students across Fairmount Park are enjoying watching the salmon grow!
