Picture
Friends of Adaire grew out of the 19125 Parents Coalition, a collaborative effort to improve educational and play opportunities for our kids in the neighborhoods of the 19125 zip code (Fishtown, East Kensington, and Olde Richmond).  
Friends of Adaire seeks to engage not only school families but also those parts of Fishtown -- households with or without kids, homeowners and renters, nonprofits and businesses, public and private sectors -- not yet plugged in to all things Adaire. We all stand to benefit from a school that thrives in the knowledge that it has its community's full backing. 

At the start, we were all parents whose children were not yet of school age. Now our kids have enrolled in Adaire and some of our members don't have kids, and we continue to grow in numbers and enthusiasm. Join us!

As a nonprofit organization, we can fundraise effectively on behalf of the great education at Adaire. IRS recognition of our nonprofit status under Section 501(c)3 of the tax code enables all donations to be tax deductible!
