Project SEEK

I hope all your children came home exclaiming about their first visit to the art lab or innovation lab, just like my kiddos did.  My first grader was so excited to visit the art lab, she told everyone she saw that day, including the grocery store cashier and a man walking by in front of our house. 

It’s because of your generous donations and support of Project SEEK!

Last year, Project SEEK raised over $140,000 for the Art and Technology Programs at McGaugh. The generous support of our families and sponsors funded credentialed teachers and an aid for the Art lab, Innovation Lab and Media Center for the 2022-2023 school year.

One of the easiest ways to support Project SEEK is by becoming a Sea Lion Sponsor and donating to our Fall Donation Drive https://one.bidpal.net/sealionsponsor.  Grandparents and family members are always welcome to donate and get involved, as well. 

We hope you can join us in our efforts to keep these amazing programs running. We are so grateful for your continued support of art and technology at McGaugh!

Sincerely,
Claudia Vecchio Wille

Project SEEK President 2022-2023
