PIE did some great things this past fiscal year. Over $20,000 to forty grants to our teachers and/or administrators. Nearly $45,000 for program or student support, such as nurses, students in need, libraries, construction tech, etc. Paid over $25,000 to previously awarded scholarships. And then awarded 42 scholarships that will provide over $25,000 in future support for graduates.
With costs increasing and stagnant funding, the ability to provide assistance becomes more important and impactful. Your support will facilitate the implementation of all PIE's programs. Be a part of the El Dorado Wildcat PRIDE and help us do more this year!
