Fundraising for Friends Community School

Fundraising is an essential activity, not only because of the sense of community that grows when we work together but also because tuition does not cover the full cost of educating our children at FCS. Your active participation is critical in helping bridge the gap and in keeping tuition costs down.

Help Pave a Path to the FCS Playground

Please download a flyer.

The Friends Community School Playground Committee consists of teachers, administrators and parents, and was established to raise funds for a fun, creative and inviting playground for children ages 5 to 14. Many different elements were required to meet the physical needs of children with such a wide age range. We also want to add continuous elements to the playground as funds become available, especially stand-alone structures for children of specific ages.
