Dear Fellow BVUSD Community Members,

The board members and volunteers of the Bennett Valley Education Foundation would like to welcome you (and your children) back to the school year. We hope everyone’s summer was fantastic!

Last year was another great year for the children in our district. Despite increasing budgetary constraints, with the aid of so many generous community members, staff, and administrators we were still able to sustain and further develop our arts program. Our children are truly fortunate to be able to have access to these programs and benefit from what has consistently been shown to be an integral part of a full education and a key to future academic success.

This year, BVEF intends to focus (mainly) on gaining greater participation from district parents for our Family Contribution Campaign which is the key for full funding (Please see the sidebar for the link to PayPal for an easy and quick donation). Of course, we will still be coordinating special fundraising efforts such as the popular Family Tile Nights and the Valley of the Arts for Spring, 2011, which has become a real event in the community.

We thank you in advance for your support for the organization (and for ALL of our kids) this year, which we hope to be the best yet!

Thank you,
BVEF Board and Volunteers
