The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF), with our school-based affiliates, is dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for students in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. This time of the year is a significant time for non-profit fundraising. SRVEF will once again call on donors to support public education in the San Ramon Valley during our Annual Season of Giving Campaign which will run through January 15, 2024.
Every year SRVEF, working with SRVUSD leadership, selects a theme for our annual campaign. Again this year, that theme will be supporting our school libraries.
School libraries play a vital role in preparing students to live and learn in a world of information.
School libraries offer a safe and nurturing climate during the day, as well as before and after school.
School libraries connect other educators to current trends and resources for teaching and learning. They are essential partners for all teachers, providing print and digital materials that meet diverse needs and offering opportunities to deepen student learning.
School library programs foster critical thinking, providing students with the skills they need to analyze and communicate ideas in compelling ways.
School libraries are learning hubs and homework help centers where students can use technology to find the best information resources.
