Welcome to Friends of Ericson — Home of the Vikings

Friends of Ericson is our school’s Parent Teacher Organization. FOE serves to bridge the gap between available resources and what our students and educators need to thrive. With your generous support and volunteerism we can create many enriching experiences for our students and support our incredible teachers and staff.

At Friends of Ericson, we’re building more than school spirit — we’re building community. Our nonprofit is dedicated to supporting the students, families, and staff of Ericson Elementary School through volunteer efforts, fundraising, and community events. Together, we help make every school year a success for our Vikings!
