ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN
It Takes A Village - Join OURS!
EVERY year, thanks to YOUR help, Friends raises money through our Annual Giving Campaign to fund an INCREDIBLE number of resources for our children. This year, Friends is funding more teachers than ever before, and our class sizes are the SMALLEST they have ever been.
This is all thanks to YOU. Let's keep it going!
Friends is proud to announce a commitment of $890,000 in funding for the 2025-2026 school year. Our investment will support many initiatives fostering creativity, learning and growth, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive. TOGETHER, we can make a significant impact!

-
Three full time class teachers to reduce classes sizes and avoid combination classes, across every grade.
-
One full time art teacher and a new rollout of Enrichment Wheel including MakerSpace.
-
Support teachers for small group reading and maths
-
Fourth and fifth grade field trips
-
Classroom supply budgets of $1400 per teacher
-
Educational resources and supplies

Other programs including Playground Partners, Teacher Appreciation, technology support, enrichment materials and Tidings Newsletters.
We Are Committed To An Enriched Education
Through our Annual Giving Campaign (AGC), our goal is to be in a position to answer “yes” when our school, teachers, and administrators call on Friends for funding to improve the safety, education, and community experience of our school.
We are asking each family to consider a contribution of $850 per child toward the Annual Giving Campaign, but truly - EVERY donation counts. We value ALL of our community members, and more than anything else, we are aiming for 100% participation to show our full support to our LJES community. .
Each and every dollar counts, and we are truly grateful for any donation you can make.
To show our appreciation, families who give $1800 or more by November, 1 2025 will receive an invitation to our Annual Giving Campaign Cocktail Party on November 14th - a special evening of celebration and thanks with our fellow supporters, teachers and staff.
