BVEF is an all-parent volunteer board. There’s no paid staff and no overhead — 100% of what you give goes directly to art and music instructor salaries, art and music supplies, instrument care, and Odyssey of the Mind costs at Yulupa and Strawberry Elementary Schools. Whereas many public school districts in Sonoma County have cut art, music, dance, and theater from the school day, Bennett Valley hasn’t – in fact, we’ve made our arts education programming more robust because district families like yours choose to step up and fund the arts in our schools every year! Any amount helps, and no family is expected to give more than they can.

Suggested Family Contribution to the Arts:
$125 per student, or $225 per family with two or more students in the district.
