Foundation funding makes these programs possible at California Elementary. Each one is run in partnership with school staff, family volunteers, and outside specialists.
CSEF funds the technology that California Elementary teachers rely on every day — Chromebooks for every grade level, classroom displays, charging carts, and the on-site tech support that keeps everything humming.
Through Foundation funding, every student gets dedicated digital learning time each week, and teachers get a partner to lean on when something goes wrong.
Show Choir brings 60+ Cougars together every Tuesday afternoon to sing, dance, and learn what it means to be part of a true ensemble.
Foundation dollars cover costumes, the spring showcase venue, and a paid accompanist — so every kid who wants to perform can, regardless of family contribution.
Each spring, fourth and fifth graders take over the multi-purpose room for a full-scale musical: sets, lighting, costumes, and a live student orchestra.
The Foundation underwrites the licensing fees, scripts, and technical production so the school can dream big without dipping into classroom budgets.
From recorders in third grade to brass and woodwinds in fifth, the music program builds year over year. CSEF subsidizes instrument rentals, music stands, and method books.
Our goal: any student who wants to learn an instrument can — without the cost being a barrier.
From the annual STEAM Night to the fifth-grade trip to the natural history museum, hands-on science is a hallmark of California Elementary.
Foundation funding pays for lab consumables, classroom science kits, and the bus fees that make field trips possible for every classroom.
