OUR FUTURE BLOOMS

4.20.24

We all know and love Lincoln Park – bustling restaurants, charming boutiques, the best park in Chicago, and...Lincoln Park High School! (Spoiler alert: it's the city's best public neighborhood high school!).

Here's the thing: despite these accolades, LPHS is significantly underfunded. In fact, LPHS receives less funds per student than the average CPS school because we do not qualify for federal grants based on our student demographics. And almost 100% of the LPHS budget goes toward our amazing personnel. This means that we do not have funds for other critical components of the high school experience.

Our spring fundraiser, "Our Future Blooms" on 4/20/24, is a crucial fundraising step to help remedy this challening situation.  By supporting LPHS, you're not just helping a neighborhood public school, you're investing in our community's future.

Your Donation Makes a Difference:
• Fueling Innovation: Empowering teachers with professional development, including ESL training, ensures they have the tools to ignite passion for learning in every student.
• Unleashing Creativity: Equipping our arts and music programs with fresh supplies allows students to explore their talents and find their voice.
• Closing the Technology Gap: Adding SMART Boards to all classrooms creates a dynamic learning environment and prepares students for the digital world. (We're close – just 22 more needed!)
• Supporting Student Athletes:A dedicated trainer and proper equipment ensure the well-being and success of our athletic teams.
• Empowering Futures: Providing access to textbooks, novels, and college counseling programs equips students for academic and personal success.
• Building Pride: Updating facilities – from cafeterias to the library – fosters a sense of belonging and school spirit.

Every contribution, big or small, has a powerful impact. Please consider donating an item, gift card or service to our auction to support Lincoln Park High School today. Visit our website at FOLPHS.org to learn more about our programs

Thank you for investing in the future of Lincoln Park and the future of our students.
Sincerely,
Friends of Lincoln Park High School
