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.

Find Out More

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.

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.
