Every step makes a difference! Thanks to our amazing sponsors and community, LPEDF funded more than $13,000 in teacher grants and $14,000 in student scholarships last school year! This year, we’re hoping to go even BIGGER—and we’d love for you to be part of it! Every registration helps us create more opportunities for La Porte teachers and students.

Thank you, La Porte Farmed & Forged Market for choosing us as your non-profit sponsor this season! The support from our community allows us carry out our mission of empowering our students and teachers!

We’re excited to unveil this year’s LaShirt — and this one is extra special! Our 2026 design celebrates the many things that make LaPorte "LP" — from our Slicer pride and athletics to academics, music, arts, careers, and the community we call home. 🧡 🖤

This year, we’re also proud to partner with the Play for Jake Foundation, making the 2026 LaShirt about more than just a design — it’s about honoring a legacy and playing it forward. #26

🏈 COMING TO HOMECOMING!

If you’re heading to the Homecoming game Friday night, be sure to stop by the LPEDF table before the game through halftime to grab yours for just $15!

Come early. Grab your LaShirt. Show your LP pride. 🧡 🖤

The 5th Annual LaShirt is HERE! 🧡🖤

This year’s LaShirt is especially meaningful as we partner with the Play for Jake Foundation to honor Jake and his #26 — and to carry his spirit of giving, community and love for La Porte forward. 🏈

PLAY IT FORWARD.

The design celebrates #26 with a collection of little “doodles” representing the people, places, sports, music and traditions that make La Porte special. It’s a shirt that’s about more than a number — it’s about our community coming together and making a difference.

And just like every LaShirt, your purchase gives back to La Porte students and teachers. Proceeds from this year’s shirt will support LPEDF teacher grants and student scholarships. 🎓🍎

🏈 We’ll be selling LaShirts at the Homecoming Game this Friday! Come see us, grab your shirt and show your La Porte pride!
