Donations were provided by Morning Star Lodge, Machine Craft, Pine Hall Brick, and Hometown Creations for a grand total of $2,500. These organizations came together to support FES and help make a meaningful difference for students and families in the Fairmount community, and they have pledged to continue helping raise even more.
Helping Hands Ending Hunger, also known as HHEH, is a program that helps fight childhood hunger by providing food support for students and families in need. Through this effort, schools and communities work together to show compassion, serve others, and help make sure students have the support they need beyond the school day.
Thank you to these community partners for supporting Fairmount Elementary and the important work of HHEH. Go Bulldogs!

We reviewed the beginning of the year data in reading, math, and ELA. While our numbers are looking good, we’re always striving for better! Goals have been set, and our teachers are confident we’ll continue to see growth throughout the year.
At FES, our Helping Hands End Hunger program has partnered with Emory Research Center to explore ways to make our program even better, including more nutritious and kid-friendly food choices!
We also discussed upcoming PTO fundraisers (Fall Festival) and FES spirit wear (currently happening), which help fund incentives for our hardworking students and teachers.
Parents, teachers, and community members are welcome to join us at our next meeting, October 7th.

Your child is bringing home an Amira Parent Report. This report provides information about your child’s reading progress, including skills they have demonstrated and areas where they may need additional support.
Please take a few minutes to review the report so you can better understand how your child is progressing in reading and how you can support them at home.
Thank you for partnering with us to help your child become a confident reader!
If you have not yet completed the 2027-2028 School Calendar Survey, please take a few moments to share your preference between Option 1 and Option 2. The primary difference between the two proposed calendars is the timing of Fall Break.
The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. These questions will help us better understand how you receive information, which communication tools you prefer, and whether there is interest in exploring a more centralized approach to communication.
The communications portion is completely optional and is not required in order to submit your calendar selection.
The survey closes September 1. Please submit your response using this link: https://forms.gle/wM3v9A7N4SfNDoRg6
Thank you for taking a few moments to provide your feedback!
It was a great day of learning and literacy at FES!

Helping Hands Ending Hunger Founder Carla Harward and Community Impact Manager Faith Cole visited FES to present this special recognition in front of Fairmount Elementary faculty and staff who help support the HHEH initiative. Superintendent Alice Mashburn and Executive Director of Finance Mendy Goble were also present to celebrate Judith’s hard work, leadership, and commitment to helping feed children in need throughout the Fairmount community.
Helping Hands Ending Hunger is a Kids Helping Kids program that empowers students to turn compassion into action. Through the program, students help fight hunger, support their communities, and learn the importance of service, leadership, empathy, and purpose.
The Hands in Action All-Star Award recognizes an exceptional school coordinator who brings this mission to life in a meaningful way. Judith’s dedication helps cultivate student leadership, spark creativity, support meaningful learning, and build a culture of kindness and service at Fairmount Elementary.
This recognition is also a celebration of the teamwork and commitment shown by the FES faculty, staff, and students who help make the program successful. We are proud of Judith and the lasting impact she is making for students, families, and the Fairmount community!
