An apple for the teacher is still a popular idea and the Education Foundation is a strong believer in this adage. Our SVUSD schools open August 5th so the Foundation lovingly washed, dried, and delivered bright, shiny red apples to every single SVUSD employee letting them know how much they are valued, wishing them a great academic year. Our teachers are above the best!

Recently Dawn Wolslagel, Culinary Arts Teacher at Joyce Clark Middle School, received one of our Inspiration Boosts for her classroom. Education Foundation members were invited to see her “pretzel project” in action. Students learned about dough leavening agents also preparing a “cold rise” method for their pretzel dough to be rolled, pinched and shaped into delicious, tender pretzels the next day, which they shared with each other and with our board members. How gratifying to observe the interest of the students learning life skills while having fun. Well done everyone!

The Education Foundation is proud to have sponsored the SVUSD annual employee recognition where 38 teachers and staff members’ service was honored. Thirteen employees are retiring at the end of this academic year and 390 years of collective service was celebrated. Many of our board members are retired teachers and understand the commitment these great educators and staff members provided to our community. Congratulations everyone and enjoy some photos from the event in the video.
