Equitable Enrichment: A Roundtable Discussion with SEF and SSD

Reminder: tomorrow, April 23, 2024, join the Sunnyvale Education Foundation and the Sunnyvale School District for a roundtable discussion on equitable enrichment. Make sure your SSD PTx groups send at least one representative. Not only will they get inspired by enrichment examples and learn essential “how-tos” from SSD staff, but they be entered into a drawing to win a grant for their PTx to use toward enrichment at their school site! Snacks will be provided.

This roundtable is for anyone involved in planning enrichment in SSD during or after school (assemblies, after school programs, etc), including PTx officers-elect.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Prop 28 and its impact on enrichment
  • Volunteer and vendor clearance procedures
  • Facilities reservation: how it works and when to pay
  • Sharing from PTAs in our district on different enrichment models and equity efforts

Celebrate the Art of Education

You’re Invited!

Parents, neighbors, friends, come learn about and celebrate the ways SEF is boosting student enrichment across the Sunnyvale School District at a Student Showcase on Thursday, March 21, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Orchard Pavilion (in the Sunnyvale Senior Center). The art of education is inspiration for the evening’s activities, but students are at the center of all we do. This fundraising event features student musicians, dancers, and culinary artists. Music and cooking demo begins at 5:30. Speakers and dancers will take the stage 6-7pm. Purchase tickets online now to save time at the door. Current SSD families contact us for a discount code to receive 50% off!

SEF on your site

It’s amazing what we can do when we work together for our children: $150k+ for art, music, science camp, field trips, gardens, JEDI books, intervention and more over the 22-23 school year! This month on our facebook page we’ve been sharing the impact at each of the ten school sites we support. Highlights are also shared here on our Schools page

We hope that, if the impact SEF is making for our students speaks to you, you’ll support our work for the 23-24 school year, whether it’s part of #GivingTuesday or your end of year donations. Sunnyvale Ed Foundation is on your site and making a difference.  #sunnyvaleedfoundationonyoursite.

2022-23 SEF School Grants: $102k

SEF has granted $102,000 this school year!

2022-23 SEF School Grants: $102k

SEF helps fulfill student enrichment needs and wishes on every campus in Sunnyvale School District with school-specific grants. In the fall, 2022-2023 SEF awarded $102,000 in funding to support after-school enrichment, arts and music, JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) resources, learning experiences (field trips, assemblies), outdoor classroom or garden spaces, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), and whole child wellness programs and resources.

Field trip support continues to be the most popular request from our schools, and SEF is proud to be able to help create more opportunities for students to get out and explore.

The various activities and resources funded by SEF school grants substantially benefit families and students who are socio-economically disadvantaged as well as English Language Learners, according to grantees.

According to school principals, 75% of the activities and resources SEF school grants support this school year would likely not have been possible without SEF’s support.
