Friends of Wonderland
Friends of Wonderland (FOW) is our volunteer parent-led fundraising organization. In collaboration with our faculty and administration, FOW ensures Wonderland has the revenue needed to continually provide vital programs for students not budgeted for by LAUSD.
These programs include teacher’s aides in every room; cutting edge instructional technologies; professional development for teachers; instructors and materials for art, dance, music, PE, library, and garden programs. To fund these programs and raise an annual budget averaging $1400 per student, Friends of Wonderland coordinates a series of fundraising events each year.
Starting in August with the Annual Giving campaign, Friends of Wonderland invites you to be a Friend and help reach 100% participation. Meetings are open to everyone and take place at 8:15am on the first Wednesday of every month. Check the Wonderland Calendar to see dates.
