In 1998, visionary Laurelhurst parents, alumni, teachers and neighbors recognized that a strong public school anchors and enhances the well-being of the entire community. They formed the non-profit 501(c)(3) Friends of Laurelhurst Foundation (FOLF), to support core programs and enhancements that enrich the educational experience of Laurelhurst Elementary School students.
FOLF coordinates closely with the PTA and school leadership to fund critical initiatives that invest in our kids and the overall community.
