What the Bulldog Fund Supports
The money raised pays or expands programs and resources that are an important part of elementary education, but are not paid for by the district and/or State. For 2020/2021, the Bulldog Fund needs $74,000 to pay salaries and support for the following programs: Classroom Aides, Library, Music Program and the Rainbow Room.
Funds raised now will be used for the 2021/2022 school year. Money raised now will affect which programs our children will have access to for the next school year. Fundraising is imperative to continue the programs our kids benefit from.

Helping Your Child Build Good Habits Workshop |
Saturday, March 20th
at 10:30 am
SRV Council of PTAs is pleased to have the opportunity to once again welcome Dr. Eran Magen of “Parenting for Humans” for a Virtual Family Engagement event. Join us on Saturday March 20 at 10:30am to learn more about “Building Your Child’s Good Habits.” Advanced Registration is required.
Good habits are quite possibly the most valuable asset a child can have. But how can you help your child build good habits, without nagging or preaching, in a way that keeps you relaxed and strengthens your relationship? In this interactive session, we will go over setting effective and realistic goals, ensuring motivation and self-efficacy, and making the entire process pleasant for both you and your child.
