Partners in Education (PIE) Program
The Partners in Education (PIE} program was established in 2005 after the devastation of Hurricane Ivan to help assist with the current and future needs of Pensacola Beach Elementary School (PBES}. Being a charter school, we are dependent upon donations from our families and friends to maintain our school and to continue to provide high quality educational services to our students.
Through the generous donations received from Partners in Education, our “Beach School” has been able to excel in providing high quality education with state of the art technology. This year, our Beach School is expanding to meet the needs of our community and to make more room for our library, art and music programs. While other schools in Florida are forced to drop extra-curricular activities, we have the benefit of our Partners in Education program to not only maintain these
programs, but to expand them.
Each and every donation at all levels of giving makes a difference for the students and the future of our school. We would like to extend an invitation to you to become a part of our school’s future by being a Partner in Education. Together, we can achieve our goal.
