The “Friends of TCA” is the parent organization for The Chicago Academy Elementary School. We organized in 2006 as non-profit organization for the purpose of administering our school’s fundraising activities. and providing a forum for parents to share and discuss issues and plan activities for our school. We encourage all parents and guardians to get involved.
Our Mission
Our goals are to raise awareness of our school, provide monetary support through fundraising activities, and to support the teachers, staff and administration in their efforts to create the best learning environment for our children.
The Friends of Chicago Academy is comprised solely of parents and family members of current students and is open to any and all who are interested in joining.
We welcome your ideas, and encourage everyone to give of their time and energy on our various projects throughout the school year.
Officers for the 2011-2012 school year are:
President – Lee Haas Vice President – Diana DiVito Secretary – |
