Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024,  was a global day of giving - a time to support the organizations and causes that mean the most to you. This year, we invited our NPES community to join the movement by supporting the NPES Fund.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Board of Trustees and Development Committee, every dollar donated to the NPES Fund between December 3 and December 31, 2024, was matched - up to $30,000! Gifts went twice as far in helping us continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for our students.

The NPES Fund is foundational to everything we do and everything we aspire to be at North Park Elementary School. It allows us to:

• Continuously innovate our curriculum to inspire curiosity and lifelong learning.
• Invest in professional development for our outstanding faculty and staff, fostering growth and excellence.
• Expand extracurricular opportunities to meet the evolving interests of our students and families.

Your contributions to the NPES Fund make an immediate and lasting impact, empowering us to strengthen teaching, learning, and the student experience at every level. Together, we can ensure that NPES remains a place where students thrive and our community flourishes.

Thank you to our generous donors for stepping up in the Matching Challenge! As of December 31, with pledges, we’ve raised an incredible $69,425!
