About Us
Friends of Thorp was re-established in the summer of 2010 as a way to combat CPS budget issues. We work closely with our principal, Mr. Toledo, and Thorp’s leadership and faculty to ensure that our initiatives are tailored to the needs and requirements of the students and staff.
The board is led by a small body of volunteer officers. Elections to choose new board members are held in the spring.
Open meetings are held monthly — usually the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm — either at school, a local establishment or a board member's home. All are welcome to attend. These meetings are a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the board, our fundraising goals and activities and what you can do to help.
