The Friends of the English School
The Friends of the English School, or just “Friends”, is a parents’ association for all families of students of The English School – from preschool to high school!
We warmly invite you to join the Friends community and support your kids’ academic activities
What we do?
At the heart of our operations is a sense of community, we work in close cooperation with the school, implementing projects that directly bring joy to the students.
With a small annual membership fee, you will help our operations greatly! In addition, all willing parents are warmly welcome to participate in the events we organize – helping hands are always needed. We communicate opportunities and ways to participate in our mailing list to those who have joined our mailing list by email, on this website, on Facebook and through Wilma.
We have supported the school and students in the following ways:
- acquiring new teaching aids desired by teachers
- supporting the library’s book purchases
- sponsoring recess equipment
- supporting the school in IT procurement
- Organizing Popular Clubs
- distributing scholarships to students assigned by teachers
- In addition, through the “Do good” campaign, the families of our school have also been involved in supporting low-income families with children in the nearby area
Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome! Both new and “old” parents. By paying a small annual membership fee, you will greatly help our activities. If you have any ideas on how we can improve our activities, please send an email to friends@engs.fi
All funds raised through membership fees and donations go directly to the needs of the students and the school. The Friends’ Board of Directors operates on a volunteer basis.
