WHAT WE DO
The Pacifica Education Foundation is an organization that supports students and their teachers in every school and every classroom in the Pacifica School District.
We fund programs that foster creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. We have implemented 21st Century Learning programs throughout the Pacifica School District, programs that have become adopted by the Pacifica School District.
Our current focus is on K-5 music, in addition to the Middle School band program we support through Music Matters in Pacifica and Middle School Computer Science.
This year we lost a valuable member of our community. Kristie volunteered many hours to the Pacifica School District and her committment to education was admired by all. She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, and friend. An artist at heart with a palette full of ideas. Kristie will be missed by everyone.
IN MEMORY OF KRISTIE ROLKE SMITH January 15, 1970 - April 20, 2017
