Friends of Cleveland.
We are parents, community members, teachers, and administrators dedicated to supporting Grover Cleveland Elementary School.
New at Cleveland
FOC is SO excited to debut our most recent addition to the school! We have added a 2nd large backstop soccer net to the east side of the field and extended the west net!
With funds from recent donation efforts, we were able to install a 2nd large soccer goal back net along the east side of the soccer field, as well as brand new soccer goals!
We added this to ensure the safety of our students by eliminating soccer balls going into the street on Albany.
FOC was also recently able to provide brand new lockers and cubbies for the 3rd thru 6th grades!
The FOC Cardinal Grant Program is OPEN for the 24/25 Schoolyear!
The Friends of Cleveland Cardinal Grant Program is open for SY24/25 applications. While these grants are typically requested by teachers and staff at Cleveland it is open to parents and community members who would like to address a need they see, propose an after school program, etc. These grants are only possible through the wonderful donations of our generous community. Please continue to spread the word that Friends of Cleveland and community support helps close the gap!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
A Welcome from our President!
