One Day Challenge Apr 24!
Our schools are amazing because of families, like yours, that give what they can to support our students. This year, LPIE committed to raise $4.1 million to support our Lafayette Schools. We have made great strides toward achieving this goal, but we aren’t there yet. We need your help!
Our challenge to you is to donate $100 to LPIE tomorrow, Apr 24. If every family who hasn’t given yet, donates just $100, we will not only reach our 2022-23 fundraising goals, but we will also achieve something truly extraordinary — 100% participation from our enrolled families!
Donate Here or Venmo @lpiek12
We cannot do this without YOU!
CONGRATULATIONS to all the Project LPIE Winners!
On Friday, we celebrated all of the 155 entries to Project LPIE. Winners were announced in each of the 14 categories. Please click here for the slide show of Project LPIE winners.
