The Santa Barbara Education Foundation will join 99.9 KTYD Morning Mojo’s Lin Aubuchon and Bill Pesso for the entire month of February. SBEF will also continue to collect instruments for Santa Barbara Unified School District music education programs by hosting a contactless instrument donation site every Friday in February from 8 am to 2 pm.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
STUDENT FUND-A-NEED
Student Fund-a-Need supports our students’ most critical needs. We are currently fundraising to provide jackets for students who are doing in-person learning. Classroom windows and doors need to be left open to allow for airflow, and more learning activities will happen outdoors. Unfortunately, this means that classrooms are colder, and students are subject to the elements. Please give to ensure that students are warm and dry during their lessons.
STUDENT ONLINE & ACADEMIC RESOURCES APPEAL
Now more than ever, we need to support our teachers and students. Help us ensure that no matter what happens students will continue to have access to essential resources that provide a first-rate education.
