Dear La Canada School Families and Community Members,

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! I am honored to be your incoming President of the La Cañada Flintridge Educational Foundation (LCFEF). As we enter a new school year, I want to share encouraging news about the work you made possible in the last school year. The most exciting news is the amount we were able to raise last year to close the gap between what the La Cañada Unified School District receives from the State of California and what we need for our kids to thrive. Thanks to your generosity, we will be giving $2.3M to the La Cañada Unified School District for their 2023-24 school year, empowering our District to continue its focus on providing academic excellence.

Throughout the last school year, you helped pay for the salaries of our elementary drama, art, music, and Spanish teachers. You also provided funding for advances in technology needs and the expansion of a dedicated 7/8 Wellness Center suite with a full-time licensed clinician and a Wellness Support staff person for our middle school students. We were also able to maintain small class sizes, allowing optimal learning and growth in the classroom. Most importantly, you also helped the District add more counselors and licensed therapists across all campuses to ensure the emotional and social well-being of our kids.

Building a brighter future, one gift at a time, has been our motto, and your support has truly exemplified this sentiment. Together, we have created opportunities for our students that will have a lasting impact on their lives.

While we have much to be thankful for in the past school year, with your help, we can sustain all of our programs and offerings that distinguish our schools from other high-performing school districts. With your continued support, our District will be able to provide an education that is robust, rigorous, and individualized to our students’ specific needs.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for you and the difference you have made in our children’s lives. Together, I look forward to building on the successes of last year and making a positive impact in 2023-24!

With deepest appreciation,

Ahee Han

2023-24 President, La Cañada Flintridge Educational Foundation (LCFEF)

In addition to its Annual Fund, the LCFEF also runs an Endowment Fund, which invests Endowment-directed donations for the long-term success and security of our schools.
