Fall Fair & Homecoming

Are you excited about Fall Fair? We are!

There are opportunities to volunteer at one of our activities or food booths.

Each year, Fall Fair, one of the year's largest events, brings together faculty and families from all over the school for a day of fun, food, games, and sports.

To make it all happen, we need you!

Please consider donating a small or large chunk of your time; everyone is welcome, and it's a wonderful place to get to know new parents and connect with old friends.

Experience “10 Influential Quaker Activists” at the Dolan Center

All donations benefit the Brian James Hom Scholarship at Friends Academy: 
Established in the spring of 2011, the Brian James Hom Scholarship honors students who embody Brian's qualities and live according to his motto, "I am the me I choose to be" as coined by Sidney Poitier. Brian, Class of 2011, left a lasting impact on all who knew him through his passion for social equity and justice, innate generosity and personal warmth, wonderful sense of humor and smile, and unparalleled commitment to excellence as a runner and a scholar.

Thanks to our Friends Academy families, who will be hosting Carnival Games, Arts and Crafts, and other fun activities for children of all ages.
