Building a Stronger Community
Starts With You
The sum of each of us makes our community whole.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can build up our community. Together, we can support our teachers.
The sole mission of Friends of South School is to support the school’s teachers, staff, and employees.
We need your help.

South School Outdoor Learning Center
We're thrilled to announce the launch of our Outdoor Learning Center!
Join us as we create a vibrant environment (yes, we love a pun) where every child can explore, imagine, and grow alongside their neighbors.
We are so proud!
Let’s celebrate our outstanding students who excelled at the Special Olympics!
Thanks to the generous support from Friends of South School, they were able to showcase their incredible talents. Go Team!"

Our People
We create the community.
And you make the difference.
Our people are what makes Friends of South School.
Our Fundraising
We all have something special to give.
Your giving can take many forms.
Your Time ~ Your Donations ~ Your Skills
Friends of South School purchased bird watching materials for our budding ornithologists. Yes, we googled that word.
Wait…….What?!
Educators spend personal funds to get materials for teaching??
Well…… that is not okay!!
Friends of South School works hard so that does not happen. Educators send requests directly to FOSS; you can help too.
Our Giving Projects
The experts let us know what they need.
The South School’s teachers and staff send specific requests to let us know how we can enrich a student’s learning experience.
We also think big and have exciting long term projects!
