Fundraising

The Sequoia Parents Club was established in 1961 to help meet the needs of our school, teachers and students that were not being met by state funding. Through various events, monies raised have been solely spent on the needs of the school through classroom supplies, books, technology, training, field trips and assemblies.

The students at Sequoia Elementary benefit the most from our fundraising efforts. We are able to provide unique learning experiences for them from field trips to local attractions, interactive learning during assemblies and technology in the classrooms. 

We happily accept donations from families, extended family members, and local businesses who have strong ties to Sequoia Elementary.
