Families enjoyed a carefree afternoon in the Lafayette Plaza Park June 4, picnicking and playing, listening to music, with snacks and fun activities all provided by Lafayette Partners in Education as a celebration of community and for their support for the children in Lafayette schools.
The free event was organized by Chairperson Kelli Shrader and included a raffle and live music. Food was available from local restaurants and families were picnicking on the green. Local ice cream store Smitten was scooping ice cream.
LPIE is a community-based education foundation run by parent volunteers working to enhance and expand the educational opportunities for students in Lafayette's six public schools.
