Run for Education
The Run for Education is a fundraiser for the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation and 40% of registration net proceeds going directly to Diablo Vista Middle School.

Registration opens June 1, 2020 at www.srvef.org. The $25 registration includes a running buff! You can still order a shirt to keep your collection up to date, but orders need to be placed soon to guarantee delivery by September 1st.

We are excited about the possibilities this new format offers our school. This is a healthy, family activity we can all enjoy while still observing proper physical distancing while raising funds to support our programs and people! Questions? Contact Karen at karen@srvef.org.
Character -Student of the Month
Our character goal for May is "Citizenship." We can show good citizenship by doing our share to make your school, your community, and the world a better place. Economist Charles Handy wrote something we all can strive to do, "Citizenship is the chance to make a difference to the place where you belong."
PTSA Open Position
The new PTSA Executive Board is looking to fill the role of Treasurer. Our current treasure is available to train the new volunteer. A job description of the volunteer role is available here. The treasure is an essential role for our PTSA Board. There are also two meetings a month held on Wednesday mornings at 8:45am. If you want to discuss the role feel free to contact our PTA President here.
Update DVMS Education Foundation
Thank you to all of our generous families for supporting the DVMS Foundation during the 2019-20 school year. Due to Covid-19 guidelines the Foundation Board cancelled the annual spring fundraising campaign. As a result, we are hopeful our parent community will continue the tradition of generosity and donate to the Foundation during Fall registration. The DVMS Foundation is committed to funding 9 school budget sections at $19,833 per section for a total $178,497. Each section being the cost to hire a teacher for one period. Together we can reach this new goal!

Our next meeting will be held July 13th at 6:00 pm.
We encourage you to reach out to any member of our Foundation Board of Directors to become more involved and to answer any question. You can also email us at: PresidentDVMSFoundation@gmail.com.

Congrats to our Foundation Board for 2020-2021 School Year
