Every Palms family should donate what they can to the Friends of Palms annual giving campaign. This is the primary fundraiser for the school year, and lets Friends of Palms support enrichment programs, educational software, scholarships, the Palms Garden, campus beautification, clubs, classroom supplies, and much more.

Please give what you can afford to support your child's school.
