Faith Lutheran’s parent-teacher group is called Partners in Education, or P.I.E.

P.I.E. meets one evening per month to plan family events and discuss ways to support the school. Children are welcome at the meetings.

Many people do not attend all of the meetings, but help in other ways with special projects.

P.I.E. typically sponsors 2-3 fundraisers per year and also helps organize special events, such as the annual "Harvest Carnival."

At P.I.E. meetings, parents get to know one another and work together on common goals. Many lasting friendships have been formed through this group.

Here are some of the wonderful ways Partners in Education recently contributed to Faith Lutheran School:

• Sponsored fall and spring fundraisers, bringing in more than $6,000

• Using proceeds from their auction, refurbished the school library

• Used fundraiser money to purchase and mount TVs and DVD/VCR players for 3 of our classrooms, and other supplies for our early childhood program

• Purchased outdoor mats for classrooms

• Purchased a Spanish curriculum for grades 1-6

• Organized a Harvest Carnival for school and church families

• Hosted a "Family Fun Night," with BINGO games, food, and prizes

• Held a "Holiday House," where students shopped for Christmas presents

• Gifted money to teachers for classroom supplies
