This month Fairyland Elementary School would like to take the time to highlight our incredible PTO, community, and local businesses that rally around FES with support, supplies, and staff encouragement. Being a non-Title 1 school, our outside funding is limited, so our need for and appreciation of this vital support is enormous.
A huge fundraiser for the year, Music on the Mountain, was held recently and was a very successful evening. Held outdoors at the Lookout Mountain Club overlooking the golf course, the evening included dinner, music by Jay Brooks, and silent/live auctions. The well-attended event had a special project focus: updating our playground. We are so grateful for the generous giving of both attendees and our community as we begin to make those updates a reality. Special thanks for the evening go out to our incredible PTO, donors, and the auction committee for Music on the Mountain: Alison and Barton Mathews, Maggie Corey, Conlee Butler, Jessica Middlebrooks, Allie Hall, Keith Davis, Megan Bell and Chrissy Jones.
Our community has stepped up to the plate in so many important and encouraging ways. Love Lookout again provided each of our students with a water bottle, so they can fill them at the water fountains. Starbucks and Rock City are bringing our faculty and staff a monthly morning treat of coffee and pastries/goodies. In the midst of a school year that still has us navigating some uncharted, intimidating waters, these little things are really big, important things. We can’t thank you enough for continuing to suppoort our students, their families and our staff. We are Fairyland!
