If you make your donation there, you can spin the prize wheel to win SVEF swag! Hope to see you tomorrow or Sunday!

A big shoutout to Mathnasium for stepping up as a business sponsor of SVEF this year! It's support like theirs that helps us keep library staff funded and student support services running strong across all four Scotts Valley public schools.

As one of SVEF's Hometown Heroes at the Advocate Level, Mathnasium brings hands-on math tutoring to kids in Scotts Valley and the surrounding communities — Empowering K-12 students of all skill levels to excel in math.

Curious about their programs? Check out their website, www.mathnasium.com/scottsvalley (http://www.mathnasium.com/scottsvalley).

They're also hosting a FREE Back to School Open House on Sunday, August 23, from 1:30 - 3:30 at their center at 245 Mt. Hermon Rd, Suite J. It will be an afternoon of board games, face painting, math games, and opportunities to win exciting raffle prizes.

SVEF is excited to announce that we have launched our 2026 Give Where You Live Direct Donation Drive!

The parent organizations at all four Scotts Valley public schools are partnering with us to raise much needed funds for the 2026-27 school year. With the state of California education funding, it’s an unfortunate truth that many of the things that help our students succeed simply wouldn’t be available without community support.

We’re asking SVUSD families to consider a $1,000 donation for each enrolled student - $500 to their school parent organization, and $500 to SVEF. Any size donation is welcomed and greatly appreciated! These funds will support school-specific programs through each parent organization, as well as library staff and student support services at all four schools through SVEF.

All donations are fully tax deductible. Just go to www.svef.net/donate to make you donation. You select the amount of your gift, and how much you want to go to each organization. 100% of your gift goes directly to the organization(s) you choose. Donations can be made using a credit card or checking account.

More information will be coming your way at Back to School Nights! Now is a great time to make you donation – help us kick off an exciting campaign and check a big to-do item off your back to school list!

We’re grateful for such a supportive community, who continually shows up for all our Scotts Valley students!

Going to be a fun family event! SVEF will be helping out pouring beer from Steel Bonnet Brewing Company and a portion of proceeds will be donated back to our schools! 🙌

See you on Sunday, 08/02 🥳
