The Friends of the North Syracuse Early Education Program (FNSEEP) was created when county and state funding were significantly reduced, causing the school great financial hardship and the possibility of school closure. Although we are part of the North Syracuse Central School District, it is funded through state and county avenues which tend to receive funding last. FNSEEP's mission is to raise money through fundraisers and grant writing to fund small projects, such as making our classrooms and therapy spaces COVID-19 safe, to big projects, such as a new addition to the playground or developmentally appropriate furniture.
