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.

If you have any questions or want to help contact us; Lori Gentile at [email protected] or Gina Johnson at [email protected]

Donate to Dollar a Day Today

Because of projected State budget cuts, our District will be forced to cut $950,000 from the 2011-2012 school year and another $950,000 from the 2012-2013 school year. Our schools and our children need your help.  Without it we face the potential of increased class sizes, closure of the libraries, elimination of custodians and even a shorten school year. Read more about it in this week’s Press Banner Article.

We are suggesting $365 per student. There are two ways to donate money by paypal; click on the paypal button to make monthly payments or click on the paypal button to make a one time donation in any amount. Click here to donate by paypal.

Checks can be made out to Scotts Valley Educational Foundation and mailed to:

245-M Mt. Hermon Rd, Box 150
Scotts Valley, CA  95066

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
