- A – Absent
- Z – Truant, as a result of not reporting absences

HOLIDAY CONSERVATORY CHALLENGE | |
|
Have you participated in the Holiday Conservatory Challenge yet? Our 10 incredible arts conservatories need your help to reach their funding goals for the 2022-2023 school year. All pledges and donations to the Holiday Conservatory Challenge received by Saturday, December 31 will be MATCHED, up to $250,000! Both your donation and the matching gift will be allocated to the conservatory of your choice, or to the area of greatest need.
As a bonus, the conservatory with the highest percentage of current families who contribute to the Holiday Conservatory Challenge will win an additional $2,500 from the CSArts-SGV Foundation! So far it has been an incredibly close race between conservatories. Every gift, large or small, will make a difference, so we encourage you to give today in support of your conservatory!
Please note that contributions made to this campaign and the allocated matching dollars cannot be applied to pre-existing Conservatory Funding Agreement (CFA) pledges. For any questions, please contact Family Liaison & Development Associate Hayley Vasquez at hayley.vasquez@sgv.csarts.net or 657.321.4000 ext. 60023.
