Our Mission

Friends of Skinner North (FoSN), a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, is Skinner North’s parent organization. We are a parent action team with a mission: to build an active community of parents who support Skinner North students, teachers, and staff throughout the year.

“We Work to Fuel the Academic, Social, and Financial Growth of our School.”

A supportive experience that turns caring into community

Friends of Skinner North believes in the power of community to make a positive impact on the lives of our students. Join us in many different ways to celebrate and support Skinner North.

Starry Night

Join us for an unforgettable evening of fun, community building, and great food and drinks to celebrate all the work that has been done by our incredible faculty, staff and community to make Skinner North an enriching and nurturing place for our students. 

Bridge The Gap

The gap between the Chicago Public Schools budget and the school’s needs grows each year. FoSN helps bridge this gap by purchasing supplies, equipment, software, curriculum, facilities improvements and other items that our students and teachers need every day. Funds raised are used to cover school expenses not covered by the CPS budget.
