Money raised during Reading Power benefits ALL students in our school district by supporting librarians, reading specialists, science, technology, music, art and many other programs. Reading Power is SchoolForce's largest fundraising event of the year. In 2018, students read over 2.6 million minutes, and raised $400,000 for their schools during Reading Power!

Your generous donation help to Power Exceptional Education for EVERY student at EVERY school in the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District. THANK YOU!  I Love SchoolForce DayOn Wednesday November 14th, we are kicking off SchoolForce’s fundraising year with I 💙 SchoolForce Day – and a silly mustache giveaway. Because we “Must Ask” for your support. Why SchoolForce? - Most of you don’t realize that BRSSD is a district that loses out in California’s public school funding model. We get bare-minimum dollars per student - the lowest in all of San Mateo County, and we rank among the least-funded in the state. In order to give your kids the education they deserve, and provide teachers with necessary resources, we depend on a robust education foundation with the engagement of all families. Because every single student in our district benefits from SchoolForce.  Annual Giving CampaignSchoolForce, your district's educational foundation, is more important than ever, providing the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District a supplemental fund to carry forward library staffing, music specialists, science specialists and reading specialists! SchoolForce's Annual Giving Campaign kicks off in November, though we gladly accept donations throughout the school year. SchoolForce's goal will be to raise $2 million this 2018-19 year to make a difference for the students in all of our BRSSD schools. We ask you to:
 SchoolForce Innovation GrantsMore than $50k in SchoolForce Innovation grants, for Fall 2018, have been awarded. BRSSD staff members (individuals or in a small group) can apply for grants of up to $500 per person to inspire, facilitate and empower staff to develop new and exciting. |
