Every Donation Counts

Our goal is 100% family participation, and we ask for a donation of $1,850 per student for the 2024-2025 school year. Every dollar matters, and we are grateful for donors at all levels. There are numerous ways to support LPIE, including a donation to the Annual Giving Campaign.
