School-Force raised $1.6 million for the 2010-2011 school year!
Thank you all for your generousity and hard work!
School-Force! is a volunteer-run non-profit 501c3 educational foundation committed to promoting educational excellence in the seven schools of the Belmont-Redwood Shores School Distrct. We work with parents, the community, and the district to raise funds to help bridge the gap between state funding and educational excellence.
How is School-Force! different from the Ralston PTA?
School-Force! is a separate organization from the Ralston PTA. The funds raised by School-Force! are the only way to pay for staff within our district. The PTAs fund site specific programs.

INVESTED
We must all continue to be involved and invested in our children's education.
The formula for strong schools
If all parents donate at the suggested level ($1,200 per child by June), we will raise over $3.5 million, the level which would have eliminated all cuts this year. Next year is anticipated to have the same or greater need, so there is no choice but to continue strong support for our kids. Donating to the School-Force! Education Foundation is the only way that we, as parents, can help.
Some can give more, others need to give less.
Make your child's education a priority in your monthly budget.
Donation options are monthly or one time online at: www.schoolforce.org
Or mail checks to: School-Force, P.O. Box 5196, Belmont, CA 94002
