PTO Meetings: PTO meetings are held throughout the school year. Meeting dates and times are announced at the beginning of the school year. These meetings are open to all parents/guardians of Fairmount Primary Center students. Some PTO efforts include the following: Assemblies, Book Fair, Field Trips, Fundraiser, Hospitality/Babysitting, Membership, Newsletter, Promotions/Spirit Sale, Public Relations, Rebates, Safety, Santa Workshop, School Picnic, Science Fair, Skating Parties, Special Functions, STAR Program, Teacher Appreciation, and Yearbook.
Fundraisers: The Highlands School District does not automatically set aside money for special field trips or assembly programs for each of its schools. All these extra learning activities are paid for through the PTO fundraisers. Since each assembly often costs $500 per session and field trips can cost thousands of dollars, raising money is very important to the total educational experience for students at Fairmount. Since every child in the school benefits from the programs and field trips that are planned each year, all students and families are strongly urged to participate in the fundraisers.
