Community Support

Community leaders, businesses, and organizations all have a vested interest in the success of local schools and their students. When students thrive, the entire community prospers. Discover effective strategies to engage with your community and become an integral part of its growth and success.

FMEA hopes to provide resources soon to help you advocate for community support in areas such as program funding, event venues, volunteerism, and booster or PTSA organizations.

Financial Support
