Honor District retirees with a gift to support our schools

Download a flyer and donation form to honor a retiree.

 

The La Crosse Public Education Foundation (LPEF) is pleased to join with the School District of La Crosse in saluting retiring teachers and other staff members. See a detailed list below.

With support from our Salute to Educators Sponsor Fowler & Hammer, LPEF will help to underwrite the cost of the District Retirement Dinner May 8, 2019, and also partner with the La Crosse Tribune to publicly recognize retiring employees in a full-page ad to be published May 12.

Former students, colleagues and friends looking for a way to honor and recognize these people for their dedicated service to education may want to consider a gift to LPEF. We’ve created a special recognition program to encourage these types of lasting gifts.

• For each gift of $35 or more, we’ll provide the retiring staff member with a complimentary ticket (limit 4) to our Grants Award Luncheon set for Jan. 21, 2020.
• The retiree honored with the greatest number of gifts (by June 30, 2019) will be recognized at the Grants Award Luncheon – and a classroom or staff development grant will be awarded in his/her name.

For information and form to submit your gift, download our special flyer.
