What We Fund

Friends of Short Avenue (FoSA) plays a crucial role in fundraising for Short Avenue Elementary, an elementary school dedicated to providing quality education to its students. With estimated expenses of $243,000 this year, FoSA ensures that most of the budget is allocated toward funding instructional aides. These aides play a vital role in providing additional care and instruction to our children, enhancing their learning experience. Additionally, FoSA supports various programs such as Spanish music classes, teacher development, the edible garden, field trips, classroom supplies and much more. These initiatives aim to provide a well-rounded education and enrich the students' overall learning journey. By carefully budgeting and allocating funds, Friends of Short Avenue ensures that the elementary school can continue to provide exceptional educational opportunities for its students.
