Our Mission

PCEF's Annual Parent Appeal is all about participation. This year MPES really hit the ground running and won The UPS Stores Park City Challenge Grant of $5,000 in the end with 68% participation. Second and third places were awarded to JRES and TSES, winning $3,000 and $2,000 from The UPS Stores Park City. The ultimate winners are the kids of Park City School District who benefit directly from PCEF's 8 Signature Initiatives and more than 100 programs throughout our schools, funded by PCEF donors.

The RC Race and Engineering League provides a unique opportunity for students to engage in designing, building, and racing radio-controlled cars…and its popularity has skyrocketed. More than 95 students participated in the program across three elementary schools last year – TSES, JRES, and MPES. PPES will be added for the 2024-25 school year, completing the expansion to all four Park City elementary schools.

PCEF is proud to fund RC Race and Engineering League as part of Real World Learning, one of PCEF’s 8 Signature initiatives, thanks to generous donors ensuring Park City’s legacy endures.

Park City’s Elementary Visual Arts (EVA) program celebrates artists and nurtures creativity through artistic process, focusing on a different artist and student project from September through May. In February, students will have the unique opportunity to participate in creating artwork for the Wasatch Back Student Art Show. Participating EVA elementary schools include: McPolin, Parley’s Park, and Trailside.

The EVA arts program is provided by the Park City Education Foundation in partnership with the Kimball Art Center, and is one of PCEF’s 8 Signature Initiatives.
