Friends of Stone Academy (FOSA) is a not-for-profit organization that raises funds to support Stone Scholastic Academy and is made up of parents and representatives from Stone’s faculty, administration, LSC, and PTA. We meet regularly to discuss and implement fund-raising initiatives that help cover the costs of a variety of supplemental academic, athletic and art programs. These initiatives are tailored to the needs and requirements of the students, faculty, the administration, the LSC and the PTA.
Why donate? For the kids of course!
Our commitment and high standards have kept Stone Scholastic Academy recognized as a Level 1+ by Chicago Public Schools for the last several years. The excellent arts and enrichment programs at Stone go well beyond the reaches of Illinois State funding. Your generous gift, to any of our annual fundraisers, provides the financial support needed to continue our excellent art residencies at each grade level, and help cover the costs of supplemental art, academic and athletic programs. All funds raised ensure that these programs are offered to all students at no cost to them. These programs promote literacy, cultural awareness, and contribute to the educational, physical, and emotional development of our children.
Last year FOSA supported the following programs and initiatives for students:
And lots more...
FOSA is evaluating its goals for the 2020-2021 school year.
Friends of Stone Academy relies completely on parent and community involvement. We welcome help and input from everyone and invite you to be part of our efforts. We welcome new participants and ideas, so please join us to learn what we are up to, and to share your thoughts.
FOSA was incorporated in 2008 by a group of Stone parents and administrators. Friends of Stone Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible.
The mission of Friends of Stone Academy is to supplement academics, arts, athletics and technology at Stone Scholastic Academy.
