Friends of Joe Michell School (FJMS) is an educational foundation that strives to create an inclusive school-community partnership among all stakeholders within the Joe Michell School community with the goal of providing an outstanding educational experience for our students.
FJMS supports an environment for our members to collaborate on initiatives, have fun community-building events, and to provide volunteer support that enhances academic, social, and International Baccalaureate (IB) experiences.
Everyone in our community is automatically a member of FJMS!
We conduct 3 fundraisers a year that support academics, the IB experience, arts programs, and classroom technology.
