Friends and Family of South Loop School, Inc, is a charitable 501(c)(3) Corporation whose sole mission is to conduct fund raising activities on behalf of South Loop Elementary School in order to provide enhanced educational resources for all South Loop School students. Friends & Family is a volunteer organization and has no paid employees, so that 100% of contributions benefit South Loop Elementary School.
Our fundraising efforts play a key role in the success of our students as the resources decline every year. With the contributions from parents, friends, and local business owners, we are able to provide critically needed support for our students.

The Friends Board works closely with school leadership to identify annual goals for fundraising and the key areas of support, outside of general operations. The Board oversees the collection and distribution of funds raised on behalf of South Loop Elementary School. Funds distributed must align with annual goals of Friends and Family.
Current members of the Board are listed below, but we are always interested in meeting interested parents. Please let us know if you’re interested in learning more.
