Community Impact: An Excellent & Equitable Education
No matter how large or small the monetary pledges are, families can play a part in providing an excellent and equitable public education.
1. Why do you support SEF?
Denise Menchaca, Mayor of San Gabriel
As a former School Board member and parent in the District, I understand personally the positive impact SEF has on every student and teacher in some manner. The Foundation helps by (a) giving teachers additional resources so they can innovate and expand learning in their classrooms and (b) offering parent workshops to benefit students academically, socially and emotionally. Because a strong local school district makes for a strong community, SEF continues to earn the support from all stakeholders in their annual fundraising efforts.
2. In your opinion, what is the One Thing that SEF does that enriches students’ lives?
Every year, SEF seeks volunteers to make phone calls to every school family in the District to ask for financial support. These calls are made in multiple languages to ensure that everyone is included. No matter how large or small the monetary pledges are, families can play a part in providing an excellent and equitable public education. Thanks to SEF, we are all working together for a common cause on behalf of the students enrolled in our 8 schools.
