Employee Matching Programs

Thank you for being a Forest Park PTA supporter in the past, and this year we are counting on your assistance again. Please donate
generously to make our Forest Park Jumpstart Fundraiser an enormous success. Our goal is  $50,000.  As you may all know,
California budget shortfall has greatly affected our school, like all other schools in the Fremont Unified School District. With cuts
being made in all areas of funding, Forest Park PTA is working hard to stretch our budget as far as possible in ensuring that no more
programs are cut or get affected in our school.
                
Your fundraising contribution, early in the year, will facilitate our teachers and the PTA to implement the following outstanding
programs and activities to enrich your student’s academic curriculum. In addition to the Back-to-School supplies donated by parents,
70% of your JumpStart donation will go directly towards your child’s classroom and 30% to support the other Student Enrichment
Programs.

Forest Park PTA is a significant supporter of our SCHOOL and our TEACHERS. We work hand-in-hand with the school and sponsor
the following noteworthy activities:


  • Math/Science Night
  • Friday Folders
  • Music Program
  • PE
  • Red Ribbon Week
  • United Nations Day
  • Forest Park Carnival
  • First day Parent Meet and Greet Coffee
