FOI President Message
Dear Ingraham Families and Community,
Spring is a great time to get involved in the Ingraham Community. Here are a couple ways we need you!
Please consider joining FOI to help us just a few hours a week. We are looking for help with tech, communications, photos, and class reps. Please let us know your interests. And we love partnering with businesses to both of our benefit. Please reach out to connect!
This month we focus our efforts on fundraising for Bright Futures, our most critical program. Please join us for our event of the year on Thursday, March 19th, when we will join together as a community and raise money for the students of Ingraham.
Please email us with questions and to inquire about ways to get involved.
Thank you for your support,
Nicolette Jensen
FOI President

FOI Community Grants
One way FOI supports Ingraham is through our Community Grants program. Community Grants help to strengthen, expand, and enrich our students’ educational and extracurricular experiences. Our budget for grant requests this school year is $60,000 and funded entirely by donations from our families and community.
For more information on the IHS Community Grant program, visit FOI Community Grants.
Bright Futures is a student support program that works to create opportunities and reduce barriers for Ingraham High School students who are experiencing food and housing insecurity. Our goal is to help all students equitably access their education and inclusively participate in the Ingraham community.

Keeping Families Informed, Connected, & Engaged

No dues, we simply ask that you contribute to the community in way that works best for you: financial donations, volunteering, joining a committee, attending an FOI meeting or any of our events throughout the year.
