State of the City

Thank you for visiting us at the State of the City in downtown Sunnyvale, on September 14. So many visitors told us what they love about their schools!

Thank you to Facebook

A huge thank you to Facebook, which announced a generous $50,000 donation to SEF at the grand opening of its new Sunnyvale building last night. Special shout out to John Tenanes, Auggie Torres and Juan Salazar for all their help. We’re so excited to welcome Facebook as a partner!

Having fun at the annual fundraiser

Everyone had a great time at our 2nd Annual Fundraiser in March 2019. A huge thanks to Google for sponsoring it, and to everyone who came and donated!

Students like wobbly seats

We’re happy to have funded these (and other) seats that help kids get their wiggles out while not disrupting the classroom.

Support the Sunnyvale Education Foundation

The Sunnyvale Education Foundation had an incredibly successful year with the help of our generous donors! We more than quadrupled our fundraising from $29,500 to $135,000, all of which has or will soon be spent supporting our schools and student activities.

We are committed to helping all schools in the district, and we have funded projects on every campus this past year. For example, we helped students learn to be more compassionate at Bishop and encouraged cross-generational literacy by supporting a bilingual family reading program at Sunnyvale Middle School. We sent San Miguel students to the Exploratorium and helped defray the cost to send fifth graders from across the district to Walden West science camp. In addition, we provided funding to bring the Marine Science Institute’s invertebrates lab to Columbia Middle School and flexible seating to Cherry Chase and Cumberland.

This is possible through the support of our generous donors, community members and parents like you who believe in our students. Your financial contribution will continue to bring field trips, tuberculosis testing, social/emotional health programs, STEM programs, classroom materials, music and art classes, and many other benefits to our students. Donors like you helped us nearly double our commitment to science camp, increasing our grant total from $8,200 last year to $15,000 this year.

Every donation counts! Thank you so much for your support.

Sincerely,


Melinda Hamilton, President
Sunnyvale Education Foundation
