Message to new families from Foundation President:

Welcome to the Academy program at Los Penasquitos Elementary!

The Los Pen Academy Foundation (LPAF) Board is very excited to have you join our program. As new Academy families you are also a member of LPAF. This membership is an easy one as there are no dues to pay and no required participation.

The purpose and mission of the Los Pen Academy Foundation is to financially support the academic goals of the Los Penasquitos Academy. As was stated at the information night you attended, the Academy is free for all to attend. You will never be asked for tuition money or fees of any kind. The program costs $60,000 to operate and does not pay for itself. This is why the Foundation was created, to help with the financial burden of keeping the Academy operating.

The Foundation has a Board that meets monthly, currently 5:30 pm on the second Thursday of the month. We actively seek grants and private donations and organize fundraisers for the community and our families. All participation is completely voluntary and up to each family how they choose to participate.

The Foundation Board has open Director positions. If you are interested in getting involved or have any questions, please contact Danette Markel: 858-672-2648, dmarkel@san.rr.com.

Again, welcome to the Academy family!

The Academy Foundation is proud to sponsor the new B.E.A.R.S. t-shirts! The B.E.A.R.S. t-shirt was the idea of our wonderful teachers. There are three ways kids can earn a shirt:

Earning an Honor Roll or Persistence Award
Being voted by their peers for BEAR of the Week
Have in their possession three or more Porch Passes

Shirts are worn every Wednesday and on Field Trips. There are a limited number of shirts available in adult sizes for parents to purchase. The cost is $10.00. Contact Mr. Bayro if you are interested.
