LPIE

LPIE is looking for volunteers to staff the ticket booth at the 2022 Lafayette Art and Wine Festival on Saturday Sep 17 and Sunday, Sep 18. It’s a fun experience and LPIE is the largest beneficiary, receiving over $10,000 from this wonderful event to benefit our schools and students. The Chamber counts on our volunteer support. Please consider signing up fora shift and enjoying the festival before or after!
 
Please also join us on Tuesday, Aug 16 at 7pm in the Stanley Library for LPIE’s first board meeting of the new school year. It is a great way to get acquainted with LPIE and the efforts that go into supporting our schools. Agenda items include:

• Business Partner Highlights
• Fundraising Update
• Event Overview

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!
