WELCOME TO FRIENDS OF LJES

The new school year is a time of dramatic change.  For our kids, it’s a long-awaited opportunity to see friends and teachers and to resume their progress toward maturity as young people.  For parents, it’s a moment to remind ourselves of how resilient, strong, and amazing our children have been through the last year — and to feel sincere excitement and happiness as these kids get opportunities to learn, grow, and even socialize again.  La Jolla Elementary offers an unparalleled experience for our children because of our incredible families and their amazing generosity to the school and their children, year after year.

Friends of La Jolla Elementary helps the school reach these goals by supporting the school financially.  Last year, we were able to fund an additional full-time teacher and three support teachers to reduce class sizes and combination classes, to fund our school’s art and music program, to fund teacher accounts so our teachers have the supplies they need for their classrooms, and to fund critical learning materials like Everyday Math that enrich our children’s education.
