South Loop Families and Community,
We say it all the time because it’s true: it takes a community to build a great school.
Right now, our Friends & Family of South Loop Schools Spring Fundraiser is underway, and we need our community to come together for our students, teachers, and schools.
As many of you know, Chicago Public Schools continues to face major budget shortfalls and uncertainty. That reality makes organizations like Friends & Family more important than ever.
Together, this community helped fund ALL of this just this school year:
8th grade math books 
New laptops for school administration 
New middle school chairs 
The Seussical musical production 
Soccer goals for Primary 
Chess team lessons 
Uniting Voices programming 
Urban Gateways arts programming 
Library checkout system upgrades 
Boys basketball uniforms 
Around the World food & entertainment event 
Student of the Month incentives 
Professional development for teachers …and so much more.
These aren’t just purchases. They’re opportunities. Experiences. Confidence-building moments. Resources for teachers. Memories for students.
This is what happens when families, teachers, neighbors, and supporters rally together around our schools.
If every family gives a little, together we can accomplish a lot.
