a MESSagE FROM NEW PEF EXECUTiVE
DiRECTOR KaThY PaPE.

reSi d e nt and parent, i could not
be more thrilled to be chosen as
PEF’s new Executive Director.
i am very much looking forward
to continuing the legacy of
this wonderful organization,
supporting our schools through
your generous donations, and
growing our pledge annually.
These are serious times. The school district continues
to face deep budget cuts that will affect our teachers,
our schools and our children’s education. We need your
help, more than ever, to keep our schools great.
Once again, PEF has raised its 2010/2011 pledge
to support the schools– this year, to $2.5 million,
including funding from our endowment– and we are
asking each family to donate as generously as possible.

While $500 per child is the suggested donation, all
gifts of any denomination will be gratefully accepted.
i am confident that with your support, we can reach
this goal and continue funding these wonderful programs
in our schools:
• Small class sizes that promote student success
(Only PEF can raise money for teachers’ salaries)
• Choral and classroom music (elementary schools)
• World language instruction (elementary schools)
• Library/media aides (elementary schools)
• Safe school counselors (intermediate schools)
• College and academic counselors (high schools)
• Computer science/engineering and robotics
programs (PViT and SMERT) (high schools)
By donating now to PEF, you are making the wisest
investment you can to support your child’s education.
Thank you, in advance, for your generous donation,
and your future support.
