Pasta for Pre-k Scholarship Fund Dinner

For many years, local restaurateur, Tony Foreman, has hosted an Italian dinner including wine at our school. All proceeds support our scholarship fund. At these events, children are welcome and many current FELP families, alum friends of FELP and supporters of early childhood education in Baltimore have attended.  We hope to continue to host events that support this cause.
