Giving Back to Our Community
Community is a core value at FASPS, and giving back to our extended community is a cornerstone of our educational program and an essential life skill we strive to instill in our students.
We believe giving back includes initiatives within our school as well as throughout the Seattle area. For example, our older students are encouraged to participate in mentoring programs for the benefit of students in the lower grades. In addition, we have annual agreements with local nonprofit organizations such as Tutu’s Pantry and Northwest Harvest to gather and donate items. Please see below for more details on our numerous community service programs.
