A reminder that LPIE is the largest beneficiary of this event, receiving over $10,000, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support of Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. We still have a few open slots to volunteer at the event, and we welcome you to take a shift and enjoy the festival!

Thank you to all who attended our Back to LPIE event at Metro. It was an amazing turnout! And a huge thank you to Metro Lafayette for hosting and providing complimentary beverages. We are truly grateful to have such wonderful partners that are so keenly vested in our community!
LPIE also had its first board meeting this week and it was our privilege to be able to honor our LPIE Business Partners who have already pledged more than $240,000 to support our Lafayette public schools. We approved our 2022-23 Budget and are pleased to announce a very successful start to our Annual Giving Campaign. For those who are new to LPIE, please feel free to reach out to us to learn more about LPIE and the programs that we sponsor.

Welcome Back to LPIE!
Summer may be over, but the fun is just beginning! Join your friends – and make some new ones – on the patio at Metro this Friday, Aug 12 from 6-7pm when LPIE will be hosting a free event for all Lafayette parents and the community. Let’s raise a glass to celebrate the 2022-23 school year! Hope to see you there!
LPIE’s mission is to support and enrich the education of every child in the Lafayette public schools. “Every child” is the key part of our message because your donations to LPIE are distributed across the schools on a per pupil basis – no matter what school your child attends, they receive the same high quality programs, access to technology, books, elective classes at Stanley, AP and elective classes at Acalanes, and classroom supplies as every other student.
Please join us in supporting EVERY CHILD in the Lafayette public schools by donating – at whatever amount fits your family’s budget – to LPIE today at lpie.org. Every dollar counts. Thank you!
