Dear Parents and PCEF Supporters:
It's June, and school is out for the summer! My children are already enjoying late night play sessions in City Park and lazy mornings on our front porch. How quickly this year has passed!
What an amazing year it has been! Each year, I am inspired and filled with appreciation. At PCEF, we are lucky to know teachers across all seven schools and the Learning Center. We have a window into their classrooms when they apply for grants. We see them advocating for their students. We see them tackling challenges. We see them taking time, to go above and beyond, to make sure that their kids have a quality education.
Together with our donors and volunteers, PCEF strives to go above and beyond what the public education budget provides to meet the needs of our students, teachers, and community. This support allows teachers and administrators to "think outside the box" and fund programs that otherwise would not be offered in our schools.
These programs make an impact on students. One of my favorite grants, in collaboration with the Kimball Art Center, provides monthly art classes in three of our four elementary schools. A student thank you note sums it up perfectly. "I love art because we have art in the classroom once a month, and I can let my inner crazy out!"
We hope you will take a minute to celebrate with us because PCEF's work is your work. Your donations, your volunteer hours, your advocacy - defines the Park City Education Foundation. We simply could not bring 'inner craziness" to an elementary art student if you did not support PCEF. You invested over $1 million into our schools. You funded programs that reached every school and every student! Wow, thank you!
Finally, we look forward to seeing you in the fall and beginning our year-long celebration of PCEF's 30th Anniversary!
Appreciatively,
Abby McNulty, Executive Director
