Wow! Feeling the love and recognition 🏅from our Torrance Unified School District and West High PTSA Friends this week.

First came the CA PTA Golden Oak award and today the Business Partner award.

We have added 18 inclusive Friendship School Clubs in Torrance this school year, and have plans for 8-10 more in the next year.

Overall, Friendship now has 72 clubs in 22 school districts.

That’s a lot of inclusion and a lot of friends!

We’d like to thank Superintendent Dr. Tim Stowe, all Torrance Principals and Educators, and the and for making this possible. It takes a great team!
