THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING SPONSORING PEIRCE SCHOOL
Friends of Peirce is a a 501(c)(3) parent-led fundraising organization dedicated to raising funds for Peirce Elementary School, a CPS International Baccalaureate (IB) school. Funds raised will help support our award-winning school, its families, and students—especially those from impacted communities. School budgets are tight and funding has been redirected from our school in recent years and we need your help to support Peirce in continuing its mission of developing resilient and well-rounded students. This year our business sponsorship drive coincides with our first Panther Ball. We are hosting this event on Friday, May 31st at Artifact Events from 7pm-10pm. There will be food, drinks, dancing, and celebration of our amazing school and community. We hope your business decides to be a partner in this with us and we also look forward to seeing you at Panther Ball.
------- Our Sponsorship levels are named after some of the care IB values. We greatly value the curriculum and quality of IB education and the globally-minded citizens it helps produce. IB programmes enable teachers to develop resilient, self-motivated young people who have the knowledge, skills, and sense of purpose they need to thrive throughout their lives and contribute to making the world a better place. The IB develops inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect. In 2023, Peirce was designated as a Demonstration Inter Baccalaureate (IB) School, one of the first schools in CPS to be awarded this honor. Find out more about IB at https://www.ibo.org/
