St. Andrew Presbyterian Church recently donated $470 to the Pacifica Education Foundation to help promote learning throughout the district. This money was raised as part of a yearly gathering for Peace and Global Witness.
Members of St. Andrew wanted to recognize the work PEF does in giving Pacifica's elementary and middle school students additional educational opportunities. PEF supports programs that are often the first to be cut when budgets are squeezed.
