Circle of Friends
Circle of Friends at Santa Monica High School is the first chapter of Circle of Friends, a non-profit organization. It serves as a model for other districts to follow in establishing chapters on their campuses. For information about starting a chapter, please contact:Barbara Palilis, barbpalilis@verizon.net, 310-398-6948.
Circle of Friends focuses on the importance of weekly lunch pairings and phone calls, supporting the creation of new bonds and the growth of social skills. Special holiday events as well as other group activities are organized throughout the year, including, but not limited to: the Halloween Souplantation fundraiser, the Thanksgiving Feast, the Holiday Party, Spring Fling, Bowling, etc.
Applications are submitted in the beginning of each school year and all applicants are reviewed before being accepted. This program has touched the lives of many, and that explains the great dedication and passion that we see from every participant.
As our motto goes."It's never too late to make a friend!"Circle of Friends Advisor:
