Who are
Friends of Drummond?
Where Your Support Goes
We provide the funding that supports the people, programs & experiences that make Drummond such a special place to learn.
We fuel the projects you can see and the experiences your child feels, from safer play spaces and new equipment to classroom resources and school improvements.
Your donations, continued support and sponsorship make possible the programs, resources, people, and experiences that go above and beyond what CPS funding provides.
We also help make meaningful learning opportunities accessible to every student, providing funding for field trips, educational experiences, and enrichment opportunities so that financial circumstances never stand in the way of participation.
We raise the funds and partner with school leadership to put them to work where they matter most.
But What Exactly Do you Do...?
Better spaces, enriched classrooms, memorable student experiences, greater opportunities for all, and a stronger, more connected school community.
