Part of the PTO. Built by dads.

The Dads Club joined the FBMS PTO in 2025. We take on approved projects that the school, the faculty and the maintenance team ask for, and we get them done.

ClassroomsPainting, lighting and repairs that make learning spaces brighter and safer.
GroundsDrainage, landscaping and upkeep around the campus.
AthleticsImprovements to fields, courts and the running track.
FacultySpecial requests from teachers and staff, plus BBQ lunches to say thanks.

Work happens on planned days after school, on weekends, and through summer-long projects. Give an hour or give a Saturday. Every bit counts.

Five schools. One Panther family.

If your child is at one of our feeder elementary schools, now is the perfect time to get to know us and lend a hand.
