We Need Your Help to Preserve the Quality of Education in Evergreen District Schools!

Evergreen Elementary Education Foundation (EEEF ) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization established in 2010 to raise funds for the Evergreen School District. The Evergreen School District includes eighteen public schools (fifteen elementary and three middle schools), with just over 13,500 students.

Earlier this year, Councilmember Rose Herrera nominated EEEF as District 8’s Community Honoree. EEEF president Julie Kaiser was handed this award by Mayor Chuck Reed at the State of City Address on February 17th, 2011 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. EEEF would like to share this honor with the community in support of quality education.

EEEF is supported by parents, school district officials, teachers, and local businesses.  Funds will be utilized for the most critical educational requirements:  this year’s project is school libraries.

Funding Goals:

• Keep school libraries open four days a week:  $696K total.
• Parents, please help by donating $75 per student.
• Local business owners can help by donating, corporate matching, and sponsorships. A strong community supports good businesses.

EEEF is excited to welcome our newest partner, Mt. Hamilton Youth Soccer League!!

We can be proud of these ESD accomplishments. Please help us continue to give our students the best.
