For all of you students wanting community service hours, you can come by the lot tomorrow after school and help with set up and we will give you the hours. We will need many people to put all the tents back up and get them watered and the lot back in working order.

Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. It has been a very sad day for the SV Kiwanis tents! What a mess! See you all at the lot tomorrow at 3:30pm!

Dear Scotts Valley Schools Supporter:

This year, the Scotts Valley Educational Foundation (SVEF) saved the libraries and counselors at all four Scotts Valley schools. Threatened by closure, SVEF stepped in and spent nearly $100,000 to keep these vital programs afloat. We also earmarked $30,000 to support technology needs on each campus, for a grand total of $129,000 for our schools.

As you may know, public schools in California are hurting, and Scotts Valley schools are woefully underfunded by the state. That’s why SVEF is so crucial, because its sole mission is to raise the resources needed to support quality educational programs at all four Scotts Valley schools.

This year, our objective is to raise at least $200,000 in order to continue to support these programs and more, but to do that we need your financial support. Please consider making a donation today. With your help, we can continue to save these vital programs at our schools.

Sincerely,

Allison Niday  and Mary Dettle
SVEF President and Vice-President

Where did the 2010 Community Day dollars go? – Last year Community Day raised $14,000 for the Scotts Valley Educational Foundation (SVEF). Community Day proceeds will go toward the $55,000 the SVEF is donating for the 2011-2012 school year to pay for Library Aides at all four schools! This is a critical need and a HUGE win for our schools.
