🌊 Annual Giving is Underway! 🌊

Have a Whale of a Heart and Do Your Part

Join us in supporting our community.  Every contribution - big or small - helps provide essential programs, resources, and opportunities for our students.  Together, we can make waves of impact. An Annual Giving Campaign information flyer was sent home in your child's folder this week. 

Here's how you can help:

1.    Select "attend" as your RSVP to acknowledge that the Annual Giving campaign is underway.  You can do so here: Acknowledge Annual Giving.   The goal is for all classes to achieve a 95% acknowledgement rate. This acknowledgement does not commit you to donate but rather confirms you know our Annual Giving campaign is occurring. All classes reaching 95% will receive a reward. The classes at or above 95% are: Alegre! 

The next top 5 classes with the highest RSVP responses so far are:

  • Sobel - 88%
  • Galvan - 87%
  • Cowell - 84%
  • Dennis - 84%
  • Neiner - 82%

2.    Donate any amount!  KidsFirst has budgeted an average of $650/student in this school year's budget.  Every dollar makes a difference! Make your Annual Giving Donation HERE!

3.    Share the link!  If you'd like to share this opportunity with family and friends please consider sharing this link: Public Donations Link.

4.    Sponsor a Legacy Event! Prefer to sponsor a Legacy Event and select exactly where your money is used?  Sponsor a Legacy Event HERE.

5.    Corporate Matching.  Many companies will offer Corporate Matches when employees donate to a non-profit organization.  Be sure to check if your company participates so we can count it towards your family's pledge.  For questions on Corporate Matches, please contact Marin Silva via Konstella or email kidsfirstgivingsve@gmail.com.

On Behalf of KidsFirst, all of our wonderful students, and our amazing community members - We "whaley" THANK YOU for your support!

Please send in your family pictures from the summer and beginning of school for our SVE Community Board!


Parking
It is a well known fact that parking around Sunset View is a challenge!  Please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking before and after school.  Do NOT attempt to enter the lower parking lot after 8:00am. Unless you are using a handicap spot or you are one of the two families that purchased the parking space or the golf cart spot at last year's auction, parking is NOT allowed in the lower lot during pick-up or drop off.    (Those who have students attending morning SAY may drop off before teachers arrive for the day.)

Please note that signage along Hill Street has changed and the majority of the space directly in front of the entrance is now marked as active loading/unloading. Please adhere to this loading zone and do not park in this area if you intend to leave your vehicle.
