Donations to Palo Alto Partners in Education (PiE) help to create the vibrant learning community we value so greatly at JLS. PiE donations fund diverse elective courses that provide opportunities for exploration and skill development. Our students can take courses in visual and performing arts, science, and technology to get an introduction to a variety of careers and skills, helping them identify a new field of interest or dive deeper into one they already love. PiE’s funding of guidance counseling and wellness fosters social-emotional development in our students.
