Its still summer but the FV Schools Foundation Board is getting ready to do its part to  enrich each Fountain Valley student's academic experience by providing cutting edge technology and resources to inspire them to think, to create, and to achieve.

This month we held our annual retreat and set our vision for the future.  We are planning for our 2017 Summer Enrichment Academy, Taste of Fountain Valley and coming up next our 2nd Annual Marc Ecker golf tournament.  We were excited to officially launch our newest giving program called Give 10 for Kids, and through it have already have raised over $3500 for the coming year.

As we reviewed and planned our budget we are setting our sights higher then ever to raise over $200,000 to help fulfill our vision to see our community united is support of educational excellence. 
SEA
Our first Summer Enrichment Academy

This summer kicked off Fountain Valley Schools Foundation's first Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA). Thanks to the donors, event sponsors and participants the seed money and start-up costs were made available and the summer program was realized and our district's award-winning teachers were able to bring exciting classes to local students. 

Beginning July 5, 2016, two two-week enrichment sessions were offered with classes including Jumpstart K-2, Creative Writing, Robotics, STEAM/Coding, iMovie Making, Ceramics, Readers Theater (Drama), and Technical Writing. Over 115 students participated in fee-based classes held at Plavan Elementary School and 
feedback was tremendous.

Parents and students alike appreciated the creative approach to new areas of learning. The campus was filled with smiling faces, thrilling science experiments, and kids doing what kids do best-having fun!

The Foundation's vision for the Summer Enrichment Academy (FVSEA) is to provide a positive and safe learning environment where students can focus on STEAM-related topics of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Research shows that school districts that offer quality summer enrichment programs have documented gains in learning and growth in social skills-which means a bright future is ahead for our students and community!

All gifts matter, large or small, and together they add up to the difference between a basic education and a great one.

No matter the size, every gift makes a difference. But your steady, reliable support goes a step beyond. Each and every day, monthly recurring gifts go to work immediately to deliver extraordinary opportunities for learning and discovery.

An easy way to ensure support for what matters to you is to set up a recurring gift with a monthly  donation-charged to your credit or debit card.  For example, you can join Give10 for KIDS with a monthly gift of just $10.
