The Friends of Alice Birney Elementary (FOABE) is a nonprofit organization formed specifically to raise money so Birney can continue to maintain and raise its high academic standards through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. Without FOABE, the IB program at Birney would cease to exist. For the 2013-14 school year, FOABE funded Spanish instruction, art and music instruction, garden instruction, IB fees, and a part-time library assistant.

The PTA works hand-in-hand with FOABE to promote success at Birney. If raising money is your forte or for more information on donating, please visit the Friends of Alice Birney Elementary.
