Preschool For All provides critical access to early education for 104 students whose families would not otherwise be able to afford it, as well as students with learning disabilities or other diagnoses.In the 2021-22 school year, SVEF worked to support local students and families by enhancing and expanding this program. Preschool For All serves three school sites, which all use the same high quality, state-approved curriculum. Most sites offer half-day programs, while one site, serving 24 students, was expanded to a full-day program. This has increased the number of fully-subsidized, full-day preschool slots available in our community by 30%.Preschool is critical to the wellbeing of our communitys youngest learners. By allowing students to experience an educational setting prior to entering kindergarten, preschool sets students up for success through early exposure to organized play, academic language, math concepts and social emotional support. The expectation is that such exposure, particularly for students with risk factors and those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, will allow students to arrive at kindergarten ready to learn from day one. After a year of social and academic isolation caused by the global pandemic, this program is more necessary than ever.Classroom GrantsSonoma Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) provides direct support to local teachers via Classroom Grants. Through this program, public school teachers and staff can apply for small grants to fund projects and supplies falling outside the regular operating budgets of the schools. Grants have historically been used to fund educational materials, supplies, field trips, and other experiences that help students learn and engage.After over a year of distance and hybrid learning, teachers face the uniquely challenging and essential task of helping students catch up. In recognition of the extra burden placed on teachers, SVEF launched an expanded Classroom Grants program in January, 2022. Teachers and staff are able to request one-time grants of up to $1,000 (doubled from the previous grant maximum of $500) to support instruction, supplies and materials, or special projects. Teachers and staff were also able to apply for funding to support professional development. Non-District ProgramsThe Sonoma Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) has traditionally supported programs that occur during the school day. As schools returned to in-person teaching in the 2021-22 academic year, our focus was on finding innovative ways to provide stability and support for our students outside of school hours.Given the unprecedented level of student needs, SVEF is actively formed partnerships with community organizations to expand beyond the bell learning opportunities that would not happen without our support. We identified three priority areas, which are outlined below along with some of the specific programs we supported:After School Programs: provide opportunities for extended learning and enrichment activities.Multi-Sensory Literacy Program, in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Sonoma Valley, serves 240 students. Using the Slingerland approach, the multi-sensory literacy program is now offered at Boys & Girls Club after school elementary locations. Trained Literacy Specialists create programs specifically tailored to each groups skill level.Mentee Enrichment Program, in partnership with the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance, offers an array of activities from the arts to exercise to students from K-12 grade, which support their mental, social, and emotional health.Intern Tutor Program, in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Sonoma Valley, serves 230 students. Teen interns are hired and trained to provide individual and small-group instruction at the Boys & Girls Club after school program at five school sites. Teens benefit from real-world work experience, training and skill-building, while also earning an income. Elementary students benefit from one-on-one and small-group tutoring, and build bonds with the teens.Art & Nature: facilitate outdoor activities that help kids understand climate change, fires, and develop resiliency.Naturalists Extended Day Learning Program, in partnership with Sonoma Ecology Center, serves 125 elementary school students. This program focuses on outdoor science concepts and practices, and gives these young scientists opportunities to explore, collaborate, engage with nature, and develop their own projects and interests.Teacher Wildfire Training, in partnership with Sonoma Ecology Center, will help our school community develop resiliency to fire and disruption.Music & Arts: coordinate amongst multiple local partners to make after school programs accessible to students.Dunbar Strategic Arts Plan (DSAP), in partnership with Creative Bridges Collective and six local arts organization, will serve 183 K-5 students at Dunbar Elementary. The six organizations will deliver curated, on-site, multi-week, in- and after- school arts programming for students. Dunbar staff will be offered multiple professional development opportunities, while two staff members will be selected to participate in an in-depth mentorship program that will support them in becoming on-site arts education curators. 1158191 true true false false false false false false false true false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Angela Ryan 7073645826 PO Box 493 Sonoma CA 949760493 Angela Ryan Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 119237 0 0 Tim Wallace Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Geeta Malik Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joanne Green Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Mance Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Barbara Talbott Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Angstadt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Leffert Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Juan Torres Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Mulligan Atkinson Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Salma Khan Wornick Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Sorkin Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Henley Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Graham Smith Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Favaro Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 119237 1 false false false 0 1347628 65562 1347628 0 -46498 -46498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1301130 -46498 985902 985902 0 0 0 119237 19572 49442 50223 0 172776 28359 71643 72774 0 2713 173 2239 301 22802 3717 9436 9649 0 0 0 0 0 0 43163 9450 5900 27813 8933 135 8798 161925 110213 10231 41481 0 0 650 650 2846 111 1555 1180 0 0 0 0 0 5165 3499 1666 Event Supplies 34598 34598 Professional Development 20853 20853 Program Supplies 9254 9254 Grants & Scholarships 4000 4000 3983 44 -627 4566 1598800 1158191 153453 287156 281423 231952 250989 100088 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 2431 39095 0 0 354338 228430 0 0 0 890181 599565 24890 21990 9954 24890 31944 X 767198 491644 98093 75977 865291 567621 890181 599565 -297670 X false true X true false X 1611268 1450436 1440710 1594018 1368480 7464912 0 15600 15600 15600 15600 62400 1626868 1466036 1456310 1609618 1368480 7527312 0 7527312 16213 12014 13144 76505 -46498 71378 0 0 7598690 0.99060 0.98220 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 354338 -41018 80000 4890 228430 278597 80163 4422 354338 268333 14357 4093 278597 261781 9988 3436 268333 240398 25290 3907 261781 true false false 228430 X 1301130 1301130 1301130 1598800 1598800 1598800 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Part V, Line 4: Further the charitable purposes of the Foundation.Sonoma Valley Education Foundation adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on Sonoma Valley Education Foundations financial condition, results of operations or cashflows. Accordingly, Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2022. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. false Sonoma Valley Unified School District -17850 Railroad Ave Sonoma CA 95476 946002635 985902 0 General support childhood learning 0 1 Additional Supplemental Information Part I, Line 2:All grants have unique reporting policies associated with them and the Foundation follows the appropriate protocols for each grant.
