LPIE

Meet Andrea Hilsabeck and Michele Colaco, LPIE School Chairs for Acalanes High School. Andrea has a freshman son at Acalanes, a junior daughter at Head-Royce School and a graduate of USC. Michele has a sophomore son at Acalanes and a daughter in 8th grade at Stanley Middle School.

We have both volunteered our time to LPIE for many years because we know how vital LPIE is in bridging the funding gap at our Lafayette schools. Your LPIE donations at Acalanes support fifteen electives plus critical enrichment programs such as counseling and wellness services, college-level labs, world languages, technology, and advanced placement classes. LPIE funds department supplies and support in every subject at Acalanes. We are proud to be a part of LPIE and work closely with the Acalanes community to ensure all students have this exceptional educational experience.

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!
