| Encinitas Education Foundation at OPE "EEF @ OPE" is a chapter of the district wide Encinitas Education Foundation, a non-profit, volunteer organization that raises money to support the elementary schools in the Encinitas Union School District. "EEF @ OPE" was started soon after the school opened to raise money specifically for OPE programs. "EEF at OPE" currently pays the salaries of our music, science, supplemental reading and supplemental math teachers. Extreme Lunch, a program that organizes games during lunch, is also paid for by the money "EEF @ OPE" raises. Each year, the spending plan for "EEF @ OPE" dollars raised is developed and approved by the School Site Council (SSC). School Site Council is comprised of administrators, teachers, staff and parents. The focus of SSC is to provide our children the best education possible. EEF at OPE is a school site 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
We raise funds to pay for teachers the California budget has eliminated. Those teachers include music, science, technology, supplemental reading, supplemental math, and Extreme Lunch. We strongly feel that our children deserve the best elementary school education. As such we are contribute pre-tax dollars, to invest in the future of our children. They are the pioneers of today, and the leaders of tomorrow. Fundraisers We have 2 main fundraisers for the year. The first is Pioneer Pledge Drive, a direct giving fund drive that runs for 2 weeks during the early part of the school year. The funds raised from this pledge drive pay the teacher's salaries for the second half of the school year. Our second large fundraiser is a spring dinner dance and auction. This is not only a fundraising event, but a fun social evening without the kids. Highlights of the evening include silent auction of items donated by families and the community, a live auction, frequently featuring one of a kind items like Rothschild vertical wine collections, Firehouse Dinner, Vacation Getaways and sporting events, and great music and dancing. Ongoing fundraisers for EEF @ OPE are restaurant nights, and eScrip.
