PEF Donation Days! May 19-21st

PEF has an ambitious goal this year of raising $85K and sponsoring a courtesy PEF membership for every school teacher and staff member!

To reach this goal, each school has a set Donation Days target of increasing their PEF membership base by 100 member families, and raising $12.5K.

See the current school competition standings (updated twice daily) to give you an idea of where Ortega stands.

Help ORTEGA win (every $$ counts) and help PSD students thrive! While PEF asks that families become members at the $100 or above level, even a $5 or $10 donation will help PEF meet the goals of ensuring that Pacifica children receive a great education.
