PROGRAMS WE SUPPORT
College and Career Preparation (in collaboration with Charlotte Achen, College and Career Specialist)
- Resuming Bus trips to local colleges
- College & Career Fair
- College essay writing help
Classroom support
- Provide financial support for specific items requested by the Principal or teachers that facilitate student learning (e.g. Chromebooks, cameras for photography classes)
- Provide snacks for required state testing
Educational movies or workshops – on topics that are important for student wellbeing but fall outside the standard curriculum. Recent examples include:
- Movies such as Screenagers Movie
Awards to recognize students and teachers who contribute to the SLVHS and broader community
- Presidential service and senior service awards
- Teacher appreciation lunch
The specific activities supported each year depend on interest, the amount of money raised from donations and other fundraisers, and the willingness of parents to organize and volunteer for activities. We welcome suggestions for new programs or academic supplies that fall within our general mission.
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR PROGRAMS FOR YOUR CHILDREN
Attend our meetings. The Cougar Club meets the first Thursday of the month at 6PM in the staff room next to the office.
Join the Cougar Club Facebook page for your child’s class(es) to keep up to date on our activities. Just search “Cougar Parents Club Class of 20##” on Facebook.
Donate to the Cougar Parent Club. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Cougar Club via Paypal to [email protected]. Or, you can write a check to “SLVHS Cougar Club” and leave it in the school office.
Use gift cards at Wild Roots Market. When you shop at Wild Roots Market in Felton or Boulder Creek, purchase a gift card at the checkout counter and tell them you would like to support SLV High School (code #701). Wild Roots Markets will donate 4% of your purchase on cards <$100 and 5% on gift cards of $100 or more. Once you have a card, you can easily add money to it.
