David Fairchild Elementary PTA

DFE has been teaching future leaders since 1955 and is a vital component of our community. Our PTA puts in a lot of effort to assist our educators and children so that DFE can maintain its motto, "A Nice Place to Grow."

Our PTA is dedicated to supporting our kids, teachers, and administration throughout the 2024–2025 academic year.

Our cherished Twiglet Bank Caboose underwent extensive improvements last year, made possible by your kind donations. Twiglet Bank is a unique and special section of David Fairchild Elementary where our children may learn about saving and depositing money into their own bank account. In addition, our PTA purchased new soccer goals and multipurpose netting for physical education.

We went on to improve our outdoor classroom by adding extra seating and shade where teachers and kids can benefit from the outdoor environment while learning.

This year, we want to keep supporting all of the main PTA-sponsored programs:

1. Reading Program: Promote lifelong reading skills in all the kids and incentivize the love and joy for reading. This program includes an Accelerated Reader Program, Birthday Book Club, Lunch Bunch, Book Fair, and support for our Media Center.
2. Fitness, and Mental Health Program: Promote a holistic, healthy lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of kids' physical and mental health. This program includes Field Day, Challenge to Change, Field Trips, and our new mindfulness series with kids receiving yoga, breathing exercises, and concentration.
3. Community Development and Curriculum Program: Promote activities that cultivate a bigger sense of community and enrich our kid’s development. This program includes support for extracurricular clubs like the Botany Club, Twiglet Bank, Student Council, Safety Patrols, WKID (Internal School TV Show), Community Events, and Recycling Program, among others.

4.  Computer Lab Initiative: Upgrading the computers and equipment in the children's computer lab ensures they            have access to the latest technology, empowering them to learn and enjoy interactive, innovative tools.
