The Foundation for LPS keeps an active Facebook page just for posting Fund a Need campaigns. Every approved campaign gets posted to this page with the LPS school tagged. You will receive an email from a Foundation for LPS staff member when your campaign has been posted on Facebook. Because of district policy, this is the only way your school’s Facebook page can share the campaign. Additionally, you can post directly about it from your personal social media channels.
