The annual event is one of the foundation's primary fundraising events, and its success is a direct result of the support we receive from our community.  Your generosity enables the foundation to remain true to our mission and provide support for all of the eight schools in our district.  Our goal is to touch the life of every child, in every classroom in the district. We are asking every family to participate in our campaign. Together we can inspire and achieve!!

As we continue to look for ways to promote SEF and garner financial support of the foundation we have a fantastic opportunity for you to donate valuable dollars to SEF for free!  Please log on to your computers at home and add  www.goodsearch.com to your toolbar. As we mentioned, you will only need to download the information once and every online purchase you make from your computer could possibly turn into "free money" for SEF.  Simply visit our website at www.sef4schools.org for all of the details.   Also, please take a moment to share the link with your family, friends and co-workers, they too can help us support academic excellence in our schools!

Rachel came to us with glowing recommendations and we are very grateful to have her as our new K-3 Music Director. She works with the K-3 students at all five of our elementary schools in the district.  She brings to our schools many years experience in her field. She also has work experience in our district as she has been a sub for SGUSD in the past.  Her classes are Tuesday - Thursday and she is on a block schedule (2 semesters) for 15 weeks. Every child will be provided with 15 lessons in music.  Our elementary school music program is most definitely an example of how an investment in SEF is an investment in our students! Together, we are strengthening our music program one note at a time!!  

Here is a sampling of various performances for the Gabrielino Eagles Marching Band.
