New Tech students will print these as “Wanted” photos and the bison will be raffled off at the end of the evening. ● Auction and Raffles The foundation was established in the fall of 2010 by community volunteers to raise money to support innovative programs that help students learn the 21st century skills they need to thrive in college and careers. Central Coast New Tech High was LMFI’s first grant recipient, thanks to a large gift from Pacific Gas & Electric. LMFI has also donated $152,450 to Grover Beach Elementary School, which is working to become an International Baccalaureate school, and LMFI distributed technology grants to 7 other schools including AGHS, Paulding, Oceanview Elementary and Nipomo Elementary. LMFI supports the Summer Institute of Learning, where teachers can learn from each other as well as share best practices from programs that work. LMFI’s goal is that every program they invest in shares their best practices with the entire school district so that every student benefits. Finally, LMFI has two new initiatives in the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and the Arts. We would greatly appreciate your support by attending STOMP FOR INNOVATION. Tickets are $35 per person, or you can reserve your own table for 8 for $300. Other ways you can support LMFI is by donating an item to the silent auction or dessert auction and/or making a financial contribution.
