2023/24 School Year Support

The Made in Santa Rosa Education Foundation provided grants to eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and one Pre-K special education school, impacting and engaging approximately 4,500 students. 

The grants included:

Albert Biella Elementary: Funding for school spirit t-shirts for all students. Many students each year are unable to purchase one, but this school year all students will receive a t-shirt to wear at school events including a spring Walk-a-thon, Special Olympics, and a Coding Showcase

Brook Hill Elementary: Funding for at-lunch and after-school clubs including Environmental, Crochet, Cheerleading, Bobcat Bootcamp, Art and Volleyball. Most students at this school cannot afford such camps outside of school

Helen Lehman Elementary: Funding for an Art Docent program

Hidden Valley Elementary: Funding for plants and seeds for a new campus garden

Lewis Early Learning Academy: Funding for a family education event focusing on self-care strategies, as the parents of children with special needs have additional pressures that can be extra-taxing on the family unit

Abraham Lincoln Elementary: Funding for classroom door murals featuring culturally relative images students will help create along with a professional artist

Luther Burbank Elementary: Funding for book inventory for their book vending machine

Proctor Terrace Elementary: Funding for school garden plants and supplies

Herbert Slater Middle School: Funding for violins for a new orchestra and mariachi band

Santa Rosa Middle School: Funding for their Make Gardens Grown program expansion

Steele Lane Elementary: Funding for school spirit t-shirts for all students. Many students each year are unable to purchase one, but this school year all students will receive a t-shirt to wear at school events
