Project proposals are open to submission through December 8, 2023.

T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST!

PPIE is holding a design contest for our Pleasanton Run For Education race t-shirts. The winner will receive a $100 Amazon gift card, plus two race entries. See details and criteria to enter your design on our website at ppie.org.

With the success of PUSD high school wellness centers and the programming they offer, a large need is seen to expand to our middle schools, so that all of our secondary students are having their socio-emotional needs met. In our district, the Wellness Centers are a quiet, safe place where students can go to self-regulate, decompress, de-stress, have a mindful moment, and/or practice evidence-based self-care strategies. To learn more about wellness programming in PUSD, please click here.

At PUSD, PPIE currently supports:

A district Wellness Website with a wealth of information and resources for parents, students and staff
Established Wellness Centers at both high schools (Amador and Foothill).
A full time classified Wellness Center Support Specialist (WCSS) at both comprehensive high schools
Certificated Support Counselors at both comprehensive high schools

During this giving season, please consider a year-end gift to help us reach our goal of $75,000 to expand our wellness support programming to reach more students, who need it now more than ever. Please visit ppie.org/donate to make your tax deductible donation.
