WELCOME 2023-2024 I’M IN! We’re ALL IN for our kids!
Welcome back! We hope that you had a great summer and are ready for your kids to return to the classrooms. Whether you’re a new, or returning family, we’re so happy that you’re part of the FPE community. Our school remains one of the highest ranking elementary schools in the Portland Public School district and we’re always looking for ways to make things even better for our kids. We pride ourselves on being diverse and inclusive and welcome your feedback.
FOFPE is committed to providing support and essential resources for our students. It is through our fundraising efforts that we are able to achieve the goals our community has established to help make our public elementary school one of the top schools in Oregon.
This year our goal is to raise $290,000, which is about $750 per student, which is 100% tax deductible. There will be several opportunities to donate throughout the year. Also, take advantage of any matching or volunteer grant programs that might be offered by your employer. Ever dollar counts! Thank you for supporting our school.
A gift of any amount is deeply appreciated.
