​WCEF's 4th annual Read-a-thon is here! The Read-a-thon is how we get our students reading even more! Did you know only 9% os schools in CA have a credentialed librarian? And that CA is 48th in librarians per student ratio. Our libraries are only open because of community support. And you can support our schools, libraries, art, music, science lab, additional electives, and more during WCEF's annual Read-a-thon September 18-29.

➡︎ KEY DATES
September 18 - 
Read-a-thon Kickoff! Bring your favorite book to school! Start reading and logging minutes! 
  • Earn prizes, help your school win celebrations, and more!

➡︎DID YOU KNOW?
Weekly art, music, and science lab programs for our TK-5 students cost WCSD about $803,000 a year. That's about $130,000 at each of the six elementary schools to run programs our students love and provide a comprehensive education. These programs do not exist without donations to WCEF.

Elective classes cost about $20,000 each at WCI and Tice Creek. WCEF funding provides an additional $280,000 this year to create elective classes that otherwise would not exist.

​WHY DONATE TO WCEF?
​

voter decisions in the 1980s reduced funding for public schools. concerned parent volunteers created WCEF in 1983 to fund programs, salaries and classes eliminated by the state. And since then we have worked to ensure our schools have the funding necessary to be the best they can be.
