Fisher Advisory Board (FAB)

The Fisher Advisory Board is a collaborative group of parent volunteers who are dedicated to fostering solutions-oriented partnership among parents, Fisher staff and teachers, and the University of Denver to support and enhance the educational experience of every child at the Center. 

FAB's mission is to:

• Collaborate with administrators, teachers, and staff to ensure the provision of a

nurturing and stimulating learning environment and community;

• Engage stakeholders through open communication, active participation, and volunteer opportunities, promoting a sense of belonging and partnership;

• Support the development of innovative programs and initiatives that contribute to the holistic growth and well-being of our children;

• Enhance the educational resources and experiences by organizing and supporting events, activities, and fundraising efforts in partnership with School and University staff and administrators;

• Provide partnership and support for the attraction and retention of high-quality educators who are essential to the success of our children. 

  • FAB Structure

    The Fisher Advisory Board is comprised of committees organized around various needs of the School with a member (or members) serving as Chair(s) to help move progress forward. Existing committees include:

    Events Committee

    The Events Committee plays a vital role in organizing school-wide related events. The Events Committee partners closely with the Fundraising Committee to raise funds that are used to provide supplemental materials for students, professional development for teachers, various items for classrooms and Fisher as a whole. If you’d like to help plan and organize Fisher events, please email the Fisher Advisory Board.

    Fundraising Committee: Over the years, volunteer fundraising has contributed to the purchase of new playground equipment, classroom supplies, and items for teacher appreciation events and professional development days. Most recently, fundraising enabled multiple teaching staff members to travel within Colorado and out of state to participate in and present at national conferences. Fundraising activities also can include restaurant fundraisers, King Soopers reward program, and annual events such as the Fall Gala and the Book Fair. This group of volunteers partners closely with the Events Committee and with the Director of Development to understand how philanthropy can help address the needs of the School. If you have experience with corporate fundraising, peer-to-peer fundraising, or just want to help out, please email the Fisher Advisory Board.

    Room Parents

    Room Parents are an essential part of our Center.  Organized and supported by the Room Parent Chair on the FAB, each classroom should at least one Room Parent volunteer to manage the classroom donation budget, assist in the organization of classroom events for families, orienting new parents/guardians, providing a link between home and school, as well as various other tasks. These parents/guardians are an essential link in building strong family partnerships and are valuable resources.  If you are interested in volunteering to be a Room Parent for a school year, please speak with your teaching team or email the Fisher Advisory Board.
