🍎 $2/School Day Funds 360°

of Support for Students ❤️

PCEF's Annual Parent Appeal, Build the Foundation (formerly Beat the Call), is underway! We hope you'll consider supporting with a gift of $360, which is just $2 per school day. Or, join the Scholar Circle with a donation of $1,000 or more. PCEF has already committed $1.5 million to support eight Signature Initiatives and over 100 programs in Park City schools this year.

When you give to PCEF, you Build the Foundation for every student to succeed. Our schools are excellent, even though $170 million of our education tax dollars leave Park City. Your donation helps ensure Park City schools stay at the top!

Of course, there will be fun prizes to win throughout the Build the Foundation campaign, and a friendly competition among schools to maximize participation:

• Schools with the highest participation will win PTO/A grant money – $5,000, $3,000, or $2,000 – from The UPS Stores Park City.
• For grades K-9, winning classrooms win pizza or breakfast parties.
• High school parent donors can win a VIP parking spot for their student or 6 VIP seats at graduation (minimum $20 donation).

PCEF's Annual Parent Appeal to Build the Foundation runs through October 4, 2024.

🏁 Revving Up Young Minds Through

RC Race and Engineering League 🏎️

“This is the best use of PCEF funds I have ever witnessed, hands down,"

an elementary school parent shared with PCEF following the

RC Race and Engineering League's Race Day.

The RC Race and Engineering League provides a unique real-world learning opportunity for Park City elementary school students to engage in designing, building, and racing radio-controlled cars…and its popularity has skyrocketed!

What started as teacher Sam Thompson's creative wish has grown into a coveted program offered at all four elementary schools. And, PCEF has been there every step of the way, providing funding, support and ensuring students have the tools and opportunities for hands-on learning and collaboration.

When you donate to Build the Foundation, your gift makes programs like this possible.

Park City’s Elementary Visual Arts (EVA) program celebrates artists and nurtures creativity through artistic process, focusing on a different artist and student project from September through May. It is one of PCEF's 8 Signature Initiatives.

EVA is provided by PCEF in partnership with the Kimball Art Center, as Utah eliminated elementary art funding in the 1980's. PCEF provides the Art Teachers' salaries. Please consider a donation to Build the Foundation to support this important program!
