HELP SIES GROW

SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.

The people, programs and experiences that make our school special start with a community willing to invest in them.

MORE THAN A SCHOOL.

A COMMUNITY INVESTED IN IT.

FRIENDS of Sullivan’s Island Elementary School is a parent-led nonprofit dedicated to funding the people, programs and resources that help make the SIES experience so special (far beyond what traditional public-school funding can provide).

And we do it together.

OUR 2026–27 GOAL

$250,000

Approximately $500 per student.

Every gift, at every level, moves us closer and directly supports the SIES experience our kids benefit from every day.
