Foundation Information

 

            The Forestville Education Foundation has the specific purpose to support and enhance the educational experience of students attending schools in the Forestville Union School District.  

 

            The Foundation is made up of a Board of Directors, numbering no more than 15.  The President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer make up the elected officers and there are eleven elected directors.  The Board of Directors meets the once a month at Forestville School.  Members are accepted beginning in August through June of every year.  The Foundation is a non-profit organization with all funds (except for a small insurance fee) going to programs for Forestville School/Academy students.

 

            The Foundation provides partial funding for K-3 art and supplies, 6-8 sports programs, and K-8 instrumental music and choral instruction.  The Foundation provides complete funding for 6-8 Science Olympiad, musical plays, classroom grants, K-3 Harvest Fair, STAR testing week supplies, 8th grade Honors (savings bonds, Honor plaques) and spelling and geography bee supplies.  The Foundation also funds K-8 school assemblies, library supplies, and computer lab supplies.  We also provide scholarships for the after school care programs.

 

            There are many fundraisers throughout the school year which are sponsored by the Foundation. Our largest fundraising effort is our membership drive and annual gala.  The children’s favorites are: Kid’s Talent Show, fall play and spring musical, and movie nights.  The gift wrap sale and two See’s Candy fundraisers occur during the school year.  The Foundation participates in the eScrip, Box Tops For Education, Labels For Education and Community SmartCard  fundraisers.  

 

            The Forestville Education Foundation sponsors a monthly newsletter, the Viking Voice.  The Viking Voice is all about what the Foundation and the school is doing for the month.  It also contains contributions from students, teachers, staff members and the community.  The newsletter is produced by 7th and 8th grade students who attend the Forestville Academy.  The Viking Voice keeps parents, students, staff members and our community informed.  The Foundation sells ad space to offset printing costs.

 

            The end of the year brings the Staff Appreciation Luncheon which the Foundation sponsors.  The Forestville parade is held in June and is a local event which the Foundation sponsors with our own float and students marching along.  The monthly meetings continue through the summer as the Board of Directors prepares for the next school year.
