Parents Β· Teachers Β· Neighbors

Our neighborhood school is worth showing up for.

Friends of Avondale-Logandale Elementary School is a group of parents, teachers, and neighbors who love our school. We raise money, run events, and roll up our sleeves β€” because together, we rise.

Help out, your way.

You don't have to join a committee to help. Choose whatever fits your life right now β€” every bit of it is genuinely useful.

We're looking for people to help with:

  • Fundraising
  • Planning & organizing events
  • Marketing & communications
  • Partnering with local businesses
  • Finding & applying for grants
  • Volunteering on event days

Help when you can

Work a shift at an event, bake something, hang flyers at local businesses.

Pick a role

Own one job with a defined scope β€” grants, sponsorships, social media, and more.

Lead a committee

Take charge of an area such as fundraising, events, or communications.

Raise your hand

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you'd like to help with, and we'll follow up by email.

Follow along.

Event announcements, volunteer calls, and the occasional very cute photo.
