Join us in celebrating 7 years of SEF and our successes because we are stronger together.

It is the mission of the Sunnyvale Education Foundation to facilitate community and financial support in collaboration with the Sunnyvale School District to support an enriched, high quality education at all ten schools in the Sunnyvale School District. We have funded programs and resources at each district school through annual grants since the 2015–2016 school year. At the elementary-school level, SEF has supported 5th grade science camp, field trip buses and field trips, after-school enrichment, maker spaces and supplies, art books, microscopes, flexible seating, and more. At the middle school level, we have provided support to the music departments, STEM field trips, after-school clubs, rolling gardens, and more.

Sunnyvale Education Foundation invites you to attend in person our Stronger Together: Celebrating SEF event on Wed., May 4, 5:30-7:30pm.

Join us to learn about our amazing successes and how you can be a part of this thriving community! We work hard to bring great programs to Sunnyvale students and we can’t do it without you.
