Sadly,
the arts are one of the first areas that are cut when schools
experience budget reductions. This year HEF will be fundraising
toward a goal of $40,000 to ensure that Art and Music education are
an option for every student in the Healdsburg public schools.
HEF
has pledged to raise $80,000 for technology this year with the help
of the our community. K-12 Technology enables our students to access
resources beyond the classroom. The HUSD K-12 Technology Program
includes: computer hardware, research, databases, computer literacy,
digital arts, programming, data networking along with practice in
writing, publishing, data analysis and research.
HEF
has set a goal of raising $30,000 this year to ensure that all K-12
libraries remain open and fully operational despite unprecedented
budget cuts. HEF will also fundraise for after school library
homework hours for both the Junior High and High School Libraries.
These sites give students access to computers, a place to hold
school club meetings, resources for college and vocational research,
and exit exam practice sites.
A core concept of CASA is that teaching youth to be effective in
real world work settings demonstrates an important principle of
sustainability by linking with locally owned businesses, the
backbone of small towns like Healdsburg. In its second year of
operation, CASA has expanded into two classes this year. HEF has
committed to help raise $20,000 to support this program and ensure
that students have the supplies and needed equipment to keep the
program successful.
