Annual Giving Campaign
In a Jewel of a town, beside the sea…
Put children first and you will see
Another hundred years, La Jolla Elementary!
Every year, thanks to YOUR help, Friends raises money through our Annual Giving Campaign to fund an incredible number of resources for our children. Our goal is to be able to be in a position to answer “yes” when our children, teachers, and administrators call on Friends for funding to improve and enrich our children’s education. This year, Friends is funding three full-time classroom teachers and four support teachers, plus a full-time Art and Spanish teacher. Let’s keep it going!
We are asking each family to consider a contribution of $1,000 per child toward the Annual Giving Campaign, but truly – EVERY donation counts. We value ALL of our community members, and more than anything else, we are aiming for 100% participation to show full support to our LJES community. Families who give $2,000 or more by November 1st will receive an invite to our Annual Giving Cocktail Party. This is a fun night for us to celebrate all that YOU do for our school along with other LJES Parents, teachers and staff.
Each and every dollar counts, and we are truly grateful for any donation you can make.
