On May 6, Kiddo! launches its annual giving campaign for the upcoming school year. Today, our schools are in an even more difficult situation than last year as the State continues to slash education funding. Our school district expects to see a minimum of $1.5 million in cuts to next year's operating budget.

Although we continue to face financial uncertainty, last year your generous contributions allowed us to maintain core arts programs, as well as provide the Mill Valley School District with vital funding to save technology staff and library and classroom aides. With your support, our children will continue to benefit from the music, arts, technology and other vital programs that make our schools engaging and effective.

As the Mill Valley School District's primary fundraising organization, Kiddo! relies on your unwavering support for our schools. Your contributions translate directly into a high- quality education for 2800 kids in our community. Together, we can make a difference!

The requested annual contribution is again $950 per student, or more if you can manage it, to cover program costs for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. This year's donation day is more crucial than ever, so don't forget to:
