Who We Are

FOJAM is the parent support group for Jane Addams Middle School’s music department. We are independent from JAMS and the Seattle School District and operate as an all-parent volunteer organization.

  • Sheet music for all ensembles
  • Festival performance fee supplements
  • Additional instrument purchases and repairs
  • Financial assistance for students including private music lessons and festival/travel fees
  • Professional development stipends
  • Director support
  • Ensemble instruction
