July Mission Focus: Fairmount

Let’s Bless Fairmount Elementary School with School Supplies

 This July, First Presbyterian Church is once again partnering with Fairmount Elementary School to provide essential classroom supplies for teachers and students. Over the years, this partnership has blossomed into a meaningful connection—one rooted in care, compassion, and community.

Education is a shared journey, and when churches, families, and neighborhoods work hand in hand, children flourish. Research shows that students perform better academically and socially when their school community is supported. By contributing classroom supplies, we help give every student at Fairmount a greater opportunity to succeed.

Our support goes beyond pencils and paper. These small gifts relieve families of financial burdens, equip teachers with tools they rely on daily, and help students stay focused and encouraged in their learning. Fairmount Elementary has expressed deep gratitude for the continued support from FPC, and we are honored to serve in this way.
