partners in education and fmpsd logo

The support our community partners so generously give to FMPSD enables us to provide educational experiences second to none in academics, visual and performing arts, athletics, Robotics, Coding, nutrition, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math), CTS (Career and Technology Studies) courses, and the list goes on. On behalf of the Board, the students and the staff of FMPSD, we say thank you to all of you for the many ways education in our District is enhanced by your contributions. Our partners make a difference everyday in the lives of our students, allowing them to have the best educational experience possible. Thank you to each and every partner, who contributes to FMPSD, we couldn't do it without you.”
