Dear Friends,
Laura Hughes
Executive Director
Peninsula Education Foundation
Every great community is defined by the opportunities it creates for
its young people. When we invest in students, we invest in brighter
futures, stronger schools, and a community that continues to thrive.
That belief guides everything we do at Peninsula Education
Foundation.
As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, PEF remains
committed to funding exceptional teachers, innovative programs,
and opportunities beyond what state funding alone can provide.
From STEM programs, music teachers, and library aides to school
counselors, college and career readiness, and classroom grants,
these investments inspire learning, build confidence, and help every
student discover their potential.
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our
community. Parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, neighbors, and
local businesses all play a vital role in our shared success. Your
generosity reflects a shared belief that investing in our students is an
investment in the future of our entire community.
Thank you for helping create opportunities that prepare today's
students for tomorrow and keep our schools and community strong for
years to come.
With gratitude,
Mariko Hama
President
PEF Board of Trustees
1Day 100K is PEF's annual community-wide day of giving, bringing together students,
families, alumni, and local businesses to support every PVPUSD school.
