SPRING “Let’s NOT Walk for Valencia” Fundraiser

UPDATE!!! All donations will be matched by an anonymous Valencia donor (up to a max of $10,000)! Exciting and EXTREMELY generous.  Please consider donating so our benefactor can match your funds!

It’s been a wild ride of a school year... that is quickly coming to an end. Don’t want to buy anything, sell anything, or help run/supervise anything?

We feel the same way!

That being said, our Home and School Club has committed $40,000 to support the funding of our school’s Instructional Assistants/Reading Support Aides for the 2021-2022 school year,  and up to this point, we’ve raised $23,000 toward that total as a school community - for which we are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.  

Due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to host a live spring auction or school-wide Walk for Valencia event this year. So...we are asking for your support with this direct donation fundraiser. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!

CHECK OUT THE MENU:

  • $20 or less - I am not able to give much, but I want to help.  (Thank you! Every dollar counts!)

  • $25 - I do not want to bake.  Here is the money that I would have spent on providing goodies for an event.

  • $50 - I  do not want to buy a silent auction item that I will never use.

  • $100 - I do not want to get dressed up and eat dry chicken while listening to a live auctioneer try to convince me to buy things that I don’t need.

  • $200 - I might not have agreed to help out anyway, so here is some money to lose my name. 

  • $250+ - This is so refreshing! I am feeling extra generous…

Donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!! TAX ID NO. 56-2556184

DROP OFF a CHECK (made out to Valencia Home and School Club)  or CASH at the Valencia Office

Mail a CHECK to: Valencia Home and School Club, P.O. Box 2277, Aptos CA 95001





Thank you so much to all the families who supported our efforts by joining us for dinner, from afar, at Aptos St. BBQ a couple weeks ago. We raised just under $500 that will go towards scholarships needed for 6th grade science camp for next year.





Tech Corner Tip:

The school year is almost over so you might be wondering what to do with ChromeBook(s) that are checked out? Students are to keep their ChromeBook(s) in the summer, and bring them back next school year. If you want to bring your ChromeBook(s) back because you are not using it, or other reasons, you can bring them to the office.

Office Hours: 7:30-4pm Monday-Friday
