Friends of Wonderland (FOW) is non-profit educational foundation that raises money for Wonderland Ave. Elementary School, a public school within Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). 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, music, PE, library, and garden programs, books and supplies for the classrooms and upgrades to the school. To fund these programs and raise an annual budget averaging $1250 per student, Friends of Wonderland coordinates a series of fundraising events each year. Total operating budget for the year, including field trip collections, tops $1M annually. Friends of Wonderland oversees the raising of these funds and the implementation and application of the funds.
