Are You New to Lafayette Schools?  Meet LASF!

If your family is attending a Lafayette school for the first time, you are just beginning to enjoy the quality enrichment education brought to your child by LASF, the Lafayette Arts & Science Foundation.  This volunteer- and parent-driven education foundation provides curriculum and financial support in the arts, sciences, technology and beyond for Lafayette public school students.  You will always know when your child has had LASF at school because that is what they will talk about when you ask, “How was your day?”

How does LASF do it?  Every year, each Lafayette school family is asked to make a donation to help cover the cost of an LASF education for each of its school-age children. Please consider a donation. Also consider donating your time as a volunteer.  Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated.

Donate on-line or use our printable donation form to make your tax-deductible donation.

Contribute Today!

Through the generosity of parents, businesses, and the community-at-large, LASF continues to serve our schools and provide outstanding programs to meet the educational needs of students in Lafayette's six public schools.

Over the years, the community has stepped up to demonstrate its commitment to and support of our mission. We are proud to report more than 70% of total contributions come from parents of current or former Lafayette students who have seen first-hand LASF's impact on their children.

Become part of this broad-based community effort by donating today. There are three easy ways to donate:

1. Print out the on-line form here and mail it to LASF

"LUCK OF THE DRAW ART" TOUR CONTINUES

LASF THANKS FASTFRAME OF LAFAYETTE

Twenty four lucky kids from our elementary schools just had their LASF artwork professionally framed as a donation from FastFrame of Lafayette. Look for these masterpieces as they travel throughout the City -- FastFrame of Lafayette, Town Hall Theatre, Chow Restaurant, and Papillon Cafe.  Many thanks to FastFrame owner Anthony Ruiz for his generous donation of time, talent and materials over the last four years to showcase Lafayette children's artwork.  

Artwork for this tour was randomly selected from a raffle called “Luck of the Draw,” held during the spring LASF Art Fairs at each elementary school. Read more information about this wonderful program at www.contracostatimes.com or click here!
