Conejo Schools Foundation

The energy at this year’s Conejo Schools Foundation State of the Schools event was absolutely electric. Our community showed up with heart, purpose, and a shared commitment to supporting every student and teacher in Conejo Valley Unified School District.

From passionate conversations to inspiring stories, the room was filled with the kind of vibrancy that reminds us why this work matters. When we come together, we create opportunities, strengthen classrooms, and build a future where every learner can thrive.

So grateful for a community that leads with love and shows up for our schools year after year.

Our All District Music Festival performances give fantastic experiences to students and families of Conejo Valley Unified School District but what we find most impressive is what happens back stage!

It takes a large community of volunteers and staff as well as serious planning and coordination to ensure every student feels ready to perform!

For this video we want to honor what it takes to produce for 10 days with partnership from Conejo Recreation and Park District and Thousand Oaks Arts and the many sponsors we rely on to make this happen. Thank you!!

The 2026 Annual Prom Drive with Conejo Valley Unified School District was a huge success thanks to our amazing volunteers (go team!) and generous sponsors:
Lush Cosmetics North America and
Planet Beauty Corporate Office

Remember to save those beautiful dresses, accessories, and suits for next year’s drive. For now, let us all send positive to our teens! 💫
