Community Garden

FWES PTA grows a community garden in the center courtyard. The garden is planted, maintained, and harvested by FWES families and staff. All the food is donated to the Dorcas Crisis Center for distribution in their food bank.

Bear Paws Book Program

The PTA launched a new program in 2019 to buy books for students who may not otherwise be able to have a new book that corresponds to their current reading level. During the FWES book fair, the selected students are given a gift card to purchase as many books as they wish up to the gift card amount.

Cafeteria Tables

We worked with school administration to revitalize our cafeteria into a more "IB Minded" space. New tables help create a more community-based atmosphere and brighten up the whole room!

Inquiry Center Furniture

The PTA worked with school administration and our media center specialist to purchase new tables and chairs for the Inquiry Center. This refresh to a space used by all students and staff makes a big difference in functionality, as well as aesthetics!

Water Bottle Refill Stations

PTA funded 5 water bottle refill stations. These units fit on top of the existing water fountains and provide an automatic, quick way to refill water bottles. This decreases the need for disposable plastic bottles and is easy for our younger students to use.

Big Blue Blocks

PTA worked with the Clark Family Foundation to purchase Big Blue Blocks for K-2 recess! These blocks are intentionally oversized to inspire curiosity and encourage children to build, design, and invent. We love encouraging imaginative cooperative play!

Educational Tools

The PTA funds student subscriptions to online resources such as RazKids and PebbleGo, as well as purchasing books for the Inquiry Center and curriculum and supplies for teachers and staff.

School Improvement

Over the last few years, PTA has paid for green top repairs, promethean board removal to make more space for teaching, and other projects around campus.

Staff Appreciation

Our teachers and staff work really hard to help our kids. The PTA makes sure that they feel our gratitude by keeping the staffroom stocked, acknowledging recognition events, supplying holiday meals, breakfas, and snacks on occasion.

Teacher Classroom Supplies

PTA offers reimbursement for all member teachers for up to $100 for any supplies needed for teaching and classroom work.

Staff Mini Grants

PTA offers funding for all member staff to provide materials, equipment, or creative solutions to unmet needs for our school community.
