Welcome back to school, La Cañada! We are Yvonne Lutz and Tracey Nelson, the 2022-23 co-presidents of the La Cañada Flintridge Educational Foundation. Yvonne has a 4th grader at La Cañada Elementary and Tracey has a 10th and a 11th grader at La Cañada High School.

We moved here because this is an exceptional community with a tradition of supporting our schools. We are thrilled to share with you that, as a result of our community’s generosity and support last year, LCFEF not only met our fundraising goal for the year, but exceeded that goal by more than $500,000, with donations totaling more than $2.5 million. Once again, our incredible community has come together in support of our kids, empowering our district to “Inspire Excellence and Nurture Wellness for All of Our Students.”
Every year our volunteer directors work tirelessly to raise the funds needed to provide what our children need to flourish. The money that we raise will pay the salaries of our elementary drama, art, music and Spanish teachers. Additionally, LCFEF provides the funding for advances in technology needs as well as LCHS 7/8 STEM offerings. We were also able to add counselors and licensed therapists to provide additional support to our students on all campuses. Our small class sizes allow for optimal learning and growth in the classroom, ensuring individualized and personal attention for every student.
La Cañada Schools provide an education that is robust, rigorous and individualized to our student’s specific needs. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for our community’s resolve to continue supporting our students on their educational journey. We look forward to building on our success and making the 2022-23 school year our most successful yet!
