Donation Days Recap - Wow!

During Donation Days, we brought our district’s school campuses together in a spirited, friendly competition, where staff, teachers and families showed their school pride — and won some fun prizes along the way. Donation Days is PEF's most important fundraiser of the year during which we raise over half of our annual funding to support music, the arts and science education across the PSD.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we beat our fundraising goal and raised $91k! Whether families joined as new members, renewed their memberships or made one-time donations of any size, every contribution made a meaningful impact — supporting music, arts, and science programming for our students.

Here is a recap of the results and the schools that won prizes in the competition.

Your support is incredibly important given that the PSD is one of the lowest-funded districts per student among San Mateo County’s 17 elementary school districts. Your donation to PEF helps bridge that gap by funding vital programs, including:

• Elementary School Music

• Middle School Band

• Stage Performance and Rhythmic Culture (SPARC) Poetry

• Hands-on Science Programming

  
  

During Donation Days, our community ensured that music, arts, and science education continue to thrive in our schools. Thank you!
