Thank you to all who supported us from afar and in person at our annual FORE! Education Golf Outing!  Save the date for next year: June 16, 2022.

Due to the generosity of our sponsors and donors, we were able to raise over $13,000  to help further our mission of enhancing
the educational experience of every Pike student by providing resources for innovative, high-quality
approaches to education.
Your support creates opportunities for students like Oluwaferanmi, recipient of the 2021 Reaching for
Success Scholarship. Oluwaferanmi writes, “Receiving this scholarship helps me realize that all my
hardwork and effort didn’t go unrecogzied. It also helps in relieving me of the financial issues I may have in
college, allowing me to stay focused on achieving my academic goals and reaching for my success.”
Your support also creates outstanding experiences in the classroom. In 2021, the PTEF provided more than
$29,000 in classroom support, including funding for many different project designed to help with virtual
learning during the pandemic. Karin Stratton, theatre director at Pike High School, used some of these
funds to purchase a software program to record and produce radio plays and podcasts. Her classes were
able to create original content about the times in which we are living, and presented “An Evening of
Perspectives” virtually.
