SEF-Funded Programs across SGUSD Kindergarten through 5th grade Jefferson Middle School 6th–8th Gabrielino and Del Mar High Eight schools. Every student. One community. www.sef4schools.org (626) 451-5465 408 Junipero Serra Drive #19 San Gabriel, CA 91776 [email protected] The San Gabriel Educational Foundation is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization and the primary fundraising partner of the San Gabriel Unified School District. Tax ID# 95-4023144. Eight schools. Every student. One community. Since its inception in 1986, The San Gabriel Educational Foundation (SEF) has donated nearly $1,000,000 to support SGUSD schools, teachers and students. Repeated budget reductions continue to impact our local schools with reduced or eliminated programs, bringing home the effects of the recession on California’s school funding. In many communities, foundations have been created to shore up some of the losses in school funding. Locally, SEF is the primary fund-raising entity supporting all 8 schools in the San Gabriel Unified School District. Our fund-raising directly results in restored courses and programs supporting students from Kindergarten through 12th grade throughout the SGUSD. Every student in the school district benefits from a SEF-sponsored program, at all 8 schools in the district. The success of SEF depends on the strength of its partnerships—with our schools, our community and our business leaders. SEF organizes a number of volunteer-driven fundraising opportunities annually, while actively pursuing education grants for our school district throughout the year. Additionally, SEF oversees the operation of a tuition-based Summer Academy each year, providing an affordable local option for enrichment and get-ahead credit classes for SGUSD students as well as those from surrounding communities. Five times a year, SEF publishes an email newsletter to inform and entertain our more than 2,000 community members and donors. Throughout the year, SEF runs various fundraisers in the community. In the fall we hold an annual Phone-a-Thon from each school. Support our Great San Gabriel United Schools by Donating to the San Gabriel Educational Foundation and Answer the Call! This is in support of our annual Fund the Gap campaign, which is intended to soften the impact of recent state funding reductions. The SEF Summer Academy is a five-week tuition-based summer opportunity for grades K–12. Offering a wide variety of enrichment, sport and reinforcement classes, the Summer Academy also offers get-ahead classes for credit at the high school level—all to rave reviews. www.sef4schools.org My class is really fun—I don’t even care that I have to wake up so early!
