Give to the Max Day Minnesota

The L'Etoile du Nord Parent Teacher Organization (LNFI PTO) supports our students and teachers to make LNFI a school of excellence and fun -- a public school with a global perspective.

The LNFI PTO strengthens and supports educational, enrichment, and extra-curricular opportunities for LNFI students. The PTO is family-funded and all of its work is done by parent-volunteers and teachers.

The LNFI PTO:

1.  Provides100% of the funding for LNFI's intern program, which brings native French-speaking interns into the classroom to assist teachers.  Interns lower student-to-teacher ratios, increase students' exposure to native accents, and provide a unique cultural experience for students,

2.  Providesresources for students, teachers, and classrooms through direct funds thatsupport classroom and grade-level activities and supplies, and

3.  Plans and staffs social, fundraising, and teacher appreciation events to unite and build the LNFI community. 

Our Give to the Max fundraising goal for the 2024-2025 school year is $10,000 dollars. 

If you are a friend, a neighbor, or a family member who wants to support an LNFI student, please consider adonation of $50 or $100.  If you can give more, please do!  We appreciate ANY AMOUNT you can contribute.

The support provided to students by the PTO — the intern program, classroom resources, community building — comes solely from the PTO and not from the school budget.  Your donations make this support happen.  Merci!
