🚌✨ With your contributions PPIE is able to secure bussing for all 5th grade students to attend Outdoor Ed while offsetting costs for each family. This rite of passage for our 5th grade students is one of the highlights of the elementary experience! 🌳📚

Your contributions to PPIE’s Giving Fund directly support Intervention Specialists across ALL PUSD schools. 🌟

Thanks to the PPIE funds, we've seen a huge impact on the intervention specialist role by supporting an MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports). MTSS builds a framework for teacher teams to support all learners, ensuring students gain additional, tailored support to meet their specific needs.

Together, we're creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment! 🙌
Thank you for your generous donations to PPIE.

📚✨ Our librarians play a vital role in fostering a love of reading and developing students' critical thinking skills. Research has shown that the amount of time children spend with books is crucial to reading achievement, and ultimately, to school success. 📖🌟 PPIE funds additional hours for our librarians - now our elementary school libraries are open all day.

Your contributions directly support these library hours. Please consider a contribution to PPIE's Giving Fund.

☀️☀️ PPIE's Grants program would like to highlight a teacher grant awarded to Christine Fitzsimmons, of Alisal Elementary, purchased multiple types of blocks and creative building materials. Now students begin each day with their choice of building supplies, warming up to the day. These "Morning Bins" have proven helpful and engaging to the students because they serve as a fun way to kickstart each day at school, allowing our students to arrive and settle in, while also encouraging social exchange between students.
