“The purpose of friends of ferris is to support activities that enhance and enrich student life at ferris high school and encourage participation in extra curricular activities. These activities include, but are not limited to: theater, music, technology, academics, athletic, dance, art, social activities and volunteerism. Some specific projects include: donated funds to the saxon pantry which provides needy students with food to take home after school donated funds to the student office for the free and reduced meal program that subsidizes lunches for students who cant afford them purchased t-shirts for the american sign language club for student members who could not afford them purchased caps and gowns for the counseling office, so that they can loan them out each year to students who cant afford to pay for them purchased an inflatable movie screen for the washington drug free youth club so that they can show movies on the lawn in the spring for students, free of charge funded a dinner for cyber patriot club members during their trip to the state competition funded the purchase of warm-ups for the girls softball team funded t-shirts for participants in the saxon classic baseball special needs game funded a scholarship for student who could not afford to pay for girls summer basketball funded scholarships for students who could not afford to pay for boys summer basketball purchased basketball shoes for players who could not afford them”

“The saxon pantry was started by ferris staff in the fall of 2016 to respond to a need in the school community and currently serves more than 30 students a day however sometimes it may be double that. In addition to providing food for the students to take home after school, students can also get personal hygiene products. The saxon pantry is partnered with 2nd harvest food bank to receive food weekly, or as needed, but the pantry also has a need for cash donations to help with items that the food bank does not provide and to deal with timing issues. The ham on regal parent group and now friends of ferris have been a great support for the pantry but the need is an on-going one. Donations can go straight to the pantry by making that selection during the transaction process on the website.”
