2023-2024 West Portal Elementary Education Fund:
Funding the Future
The WPPC’s largest expenditure is funding 100% of staff salaries for World Music, Garden Science, and a Recess Coordinator. It is difficult to even imagine our school without these dynamic programs that have become hallmarks of the West Portal student experience.
Fundraising to ensure the continuity of these programs is the WPPC’s highest priority.
Last year, WPPC also funded 100% of the new Lunar New Year Event along with cherished annual traditions like the Rock Show, Pumpkin Patch, Read-a-Thon, School Musical, WPES Olympics, and Maker Playground. Donations to WPPC also funded a school t-shirt for every student, supplies for classrooms, and equipment for staff.
All of these events and programs are for every student and every family in the West Portal Elementary School Community. WPPC is honored to play such a significant role in contributing to what makes our school so magical.
We sincerely hope you will consider contributing to this year’s Ed Fund campaign for the benefit of WPPC. No amount is too small, and all donors will be recognized equally. All Ed Fund donations are eligible for tax deductions and eligible for corporate matching.
On behalf of nearly six hundred little Panthers and their amazing educators, thank you for helping us enhance West Portal Elementary School in so many essential ways.
Sincerely,
The West Portal Parents Club (WPPC), with support from:
Henry Wong, Principal
Pamela Aguilar, Assistant Principal
WPPC’s Fundraising Goals and Budget
Similar to last year, the Parents Club will fundraise only two times in the 2023-2024 school year – this Education Fund campaign and the Spring Auction — to reach our annual goal of raising $375,000. With our current enrollment of 597 students, we need to raise $628 per student to meet this year’s budget needs. Fundraising comes primarily from families and corporate matching gifts.
Here are some suggested donations:
$600 families with one student
$1200 families with two students
$1800 families with three students
All donations are eligible for tax deductions and corporate matching. If you have questions about how to sign-up for corporate matching, please contact the Ed Fund team at EdFund@westportalparentsclub.org.
