About

For a limited time, a group of Benefactors are matching gifts $1 for $1, making your gift go twice as far! Your investment in our community truly makes a difference, giving our children roots to grow and wings to fly.

The Falcon's Birthday Wishlist:

  • Bold Wings: Fueling innovative programs, outstanding faculty, and classrooms where curiosity and creativity take flight.
  • Bright Futures: Preparing tomorrow’s leaders to step into the world with integrity, purpose, and a commitment to service.
  • Strong Roots: Keeping our families supported through tuition assistance, ensuring a diverse and vibrant community.

Success & Another Challenge!

Exciting News: Because of collective generosity, we met our dollar-for-dollar match! Your support is already making an impact for Friends Select students and teachers.

But Falcons don’t stop! Our trustees think we can get to 400 donors. If we do it by midnight tonight, they will contribute an additional $60,000 to the Friends Select Fund! Please help us get there for FSS faculty, staff, students, and coaches!

It's the Falcon's Birthday Celebration! But, not all birthday's go according to plan.

Mother Nature might have crashed our Field Day on campus, but we are still celebrating with a friendly giving competition online for the entire Friends Select community!

Choose your team—Brown (odd graduation years) or Gold (even graduation years)—and help your side soar to victory. Thanks to a generous group of benefactors, all gifts are being matched $1 for $1 up to $60,000!  Double your impact and celebrate the Falcon’s Birthday with a gift to support our students, teachers, and coaches today! 🎉

Here is a picture of last year's sunny birthday.
