Buy Art and Wine Tickets Now
Join us for an evening of art, wine, hors d’oeuvres made by foodlab, and good times - for the best cause of all - our own Pacific School! You don't even need a sitter because childcare is available at school. So grab some friends and get your tickets before this thing sells out. Your ticket will support Pacific School's amazing programs including art, music, garden, theater, the library, 5/6th science camp, and annual teacher’s grants. There will be a silent auction to bid on amazing local art, wine tastings, and Disneyland tickets. You can buy beautiful hand-made crafts from pacific school students. You can also try your luck at the wine pull and take home some delicious wines. |

Dear Pacific School Parents,
You are part of something special. The students at Pacific School thrive in a setting with small class sizes and a student-to-instructor ratio rarely seen in public schools in California. They thrive on a food and garden program that is seen as a model across the country – and one that feeds their bodies, minds, and hearts. They thrive with the proven benefits of instruction in music, theater, and art.
We know you value Pacific School's educational experience because of these programs — programs that are not fully funded by the school. Parents like you, alumni, and the local community make up the difference between state funding and the actual cost of a Pacific School education.
To fund these programs at expected levels, we need to raise about about $350 per student based on current enrollments.. We are aware that not all families can meet that goal, so our per student average is closer to $400 per student.
We need to raise about $400 per student to support all of our programs

What exactly does your contribution directly to Parents’ Club fund?
- Life Lab – Along with FoodLab, this school garden program teaches students Life Science and raises food used in the cafeteria.
- Music, Theater, and Visual Art – Parents’ Club pays for all of the costs to perform a school play every other year, and almost all of the costs of Orff music, instrumental music, and visual arts instruction. Pacific is one of few elementary schools in the county still maintaining an instrumental music program.
- School Library – Parents’ Club pays for staff, books, and supplies for the school library.
- Classroom Aides – Parents’ Club has taken on part of the cost of classroom aides to secure their positions.
- Classroom Grants – Every teacher can apply to Parents’ Club for classroom grants for special supplies or projects.
You can also make contributions directly to these areas that are not a part of the Parent’s Club general fund:
- FoodLab – Seen as a national model, FoodLab teaches life skills, culinary arts, and reinforces the core curriculum. FoodLab has its own fund, supported by Friends of FoodLab, so if you would like your donation to go directly to FoodLab please make that clear on your check. All proceeds from the Farm-to-Table event do go directly to FoodLab.
- Fifth-Sixth Grade Field Trips – The fifth-sixth grade field trips, including the trip to the Balclutha and the Environmental Living Program (ELP), is funded by the independent fundraising efforts of the fifth and sixth graders, both 5-day and Independent Study.
