The Home and School Association is the organized body of Friends' Central parents and guardians. The personal investment of mothers and fathers in their children's education is an integral part of the School's philosophy, and by encouraging parental involvement, Friends' Central accomplishes its goal of establishing a partnership between the School, the student, and the family.

For more information on how to get involved, contact Andrea Nuneviller in the Home and School Office at 610.645.5040 or anuneviller@friendscentral.org.

Eldernet Thank You!

Thank you so much for bringing the Thanksgiving spirit to so many of our housebound elderly community members.  It was truly a full FCS effort with those of you that brought the boxes for donations, monitored what was given, and even delivered the boxes.  Some of you wrote multiple emails to your classes and even offered to help with not only your own child’s class, but other classes as well.

The HSA LS Service committee is honored to be coordinating this effort for the school and it was such a reflection of the generosity and can-do spirit of our families to pull together such a wonderful giving.  Thank you for all your help, support, and donations.
