Friends of Salmon Bay (FOSB, pronounced FOZZ-bee) is the nonprofit parent/teacher organization (PTO) of Salmon Bay K-8, a choice school within the Seattle Public School District. We are 100% volunteer-powered, 100% donation-driven — made up of all families and staff that support our students at Salmon Bay. Together, we collaboratively help build and sustain the people, programs, activities, and resources that contribute to a unique and thriving Salmon Bay. We do this by:
- Raising funds to bridge the gap between what the district provides and what we want for our school community – ensuring essential school staff, school enrichment programs and classroom resources, scholarships and equity funding, and enrichment activities and committee work. Learn more about our Finance & Budgeting and Fundraising efforts.
- Engaging volunteers to support school needs, classroom activities, enrichment programs, and the many needs of our school community. Learn more how to Get Involved!
- Strengthening community among students, families, and staff by offering educational, enriching, and relationship-building activities and resources. Learn more about the various Committees and Resources available to support our community.
- Elevating our voices within the school, district, and state to provide insight into issues that impact our students and advocate for constructive change. Learn more about our Advocacy efforts.
FOSB is governed by our engaged leadership, which includes our elected Board of Directors and Executive Officers, voluntary Committees, and automatic community Members — that’s you!
Together, we support our school in accordance with our Budget our Bylaws.
