Message from the Board President, Bev Bachman Hello, fellow supporters of education! Imagine that, with the support of our community and a high quality education, all Estes Park School District students graduate as thriving, successful, responsible citizens. |

This is the vision of the Estes Park Education Foundation. It is how we think it would look if we accomplish our mission: Inspiring community investment in exemplary student learning experiences today to develop our citizens of tomorrow. These two things – the mission and vision – drive the work of EPEF, and our Pillars are our areas of focus to make it happen. EPEF is a young organization (a little over three years old) and building both financial and human resource capacity to provide the services we envision. After spending a year creating the mission, vision, and bylaws, we were awarded 501c3 status in December 2018. Another six months were spent creating policies so we could install our first official board of directors in June 2019. After Covid and with the support of our community, we are beginning to gain some momentum. This newsletter and those that follow will give you an idea of what we are doing and how you might help. With the support of our community and a high-quality education, all Estes Park School District students graduate as thriving, successful, responsible citizens. We invite you to join us in this endeavor! Bev |
