Drive for Schools Fundraiser
This raffle is our single largest fundraiser of the year and a tremendous opportunity for students to raise essential funds with 100% of the ticket money going directly to our school. Let’s keep FoodLab, Life Lab, the Library and our other awesome programs going and growing! 
  • Tickets can be bought online! Fast, easy, and no need to fill out paper tickets by hand! Great for sending to friends and family around the world or selling to folks without cash. Send the link or scan the QR code on the sales packet. 
  • You can also complete paper tickets and and return cash or checks with completed ticket stubs to the office.
  • ALL TICKETS DUE FRIDAY OCTOBER 16. Note that there is no school that day, so you may wish to return paper tickets earlier that week to avoid an extra trip.
Thank you for supporting the kids and the school as we raise money for the school community! 
More info about Drive for Schools and the prizes offered is HERE.
Library Book Wishlist! 
We are excited to share that we've set up a Book Wish List at Bookshop Santa Cruz for out school library. Every title on this list was personally requested by our students, reflecting what they are most excited to read right now. If you'd like to support our readers and help expand our collection, you can browse and purchase books directly from our wishlist.

Thank you for supporting our school library and inspiring a love of reading!

Please Review Pacific!
One easy, zero-cost way you can support Pacific School is by writing a short review of our TK-6th school and/or Pacific Preschool. Just three minutes of your time makes a big difference! Right now we have very few reviews, which makes it harder for families to find out about our award-winning programs and small, supportive community.

Please Review Us Now:Have more time? Please leave a review in any of these additional places:​
If you share your reviews with [email protected], Elizabeth can also add them to the school website. Thanks so much!!!
Tired of Driving? Consider the Metro Bus!
If you’ve been considering sending your child on the school bus, we encourage you to give it a try! The more families who ride, the more we can reduce our school’s carbon footprint and build community. More info about routes.

Planning to send your child on the bus? Please join our parent-organized WhatsApp group to sign up as a low-key parent chaperone—once a week, once a month, or whenever you’re able—to ride along with the kids to school. 

Questions?  Reach out to Lauren (new parent and mom to Fiona C. in 1st grade). [email protected] 

Many thanks to Lauren for jumping right in and supporting community!
