Who We Are
Friends of Columbus is a non-profit group working on behalf of Christopher Columbus Elementary School, located in the heart of Ukrainian Village in Chicago.
Our goals include strengthening bonds within the school community, planning social events, volunteering at school activities, fundraising on behalf of the school, supporting the work of our dedicated teachers and staff, and more.
Get Involved
We are powered by volunteers who represent parents, school teachers and staff, and community members. Interested in getting involved?
Some of Our Activities
Events
We plan and host events intended to connect the community, provide activities for families, and, sometimes, raise money for the school.
New Parent Conversations
Are you a parent considering enrolling your child at Columbus? Connect with a current parent to hear their perspective on the school.
School Pride Gear
A yard sign or window decal is a great way to show your pride and represent the school in the community.
