South Loop Shows Up!

As Chicago Public Schools continues to face major budget shortfalls, our school community continues stepping up for our students, teachers, and schools.

This year alone, donations through Friends & Family of South Loop Schools helped fund classroom resources, arts programs, sports equipment, technology upgrades, student incentives, teacher support, and so much more.

Our Spring Fundraiser is happening NOW, and we still need your help to reach our goals.
