Today's teachers face even greater challenges in their efforts to inspire kids to achieve. That's why 94.5 KBAY supports them through the KBAY/Silicon Valley Education Foundation Teacher of the Month Program. For 5 years we've teamed with SVEF to give $500 classroom innovation grants to teachers who inspire and challenge our kids…
…like Fadi Saba, who used the $500 grant to teach his students history, nautical science and teamwork aboard a hundred-year old schooner in San Francisco Bay
…Or Ivy Nguyen, who used her grant money to set up a creative classroom bank to teach her kids economics!
…Or Kim Munoz, the 2011 Teacher of the Year who used her grant to set up classroom teams to teach students to help each other while helping themselves
…Over 1,000 teachers and $500,000 in innovation grant money!
But rewarding and funding classroom innovation takes funds - funds that are running out.
Will you help fund the future?

About Silicon Valley Education Foundation
As a leading non-profit resource and advocate for students, educators and administrators, Silicon Valley Education Foundation is dedicated to elevating scholastic achievement. Since 2006, more than 750 Teacher Innovation Grants have been awarded to local educators to inspire student learning in and outside of classrooms. SVEF’s mission is to make Silicon Valley the leader in academically prepared high school graduates.
How Can I Support Public Education?
Our local community’s vision is a technologically, innovative Silicon Valley where public school investment results in a strong and sustainable economy and a future workforce is created from local talent. Today, nearly 50% of high school graduates in Santa Clara County are not eligible to attend a four-year California university. SVEF is working with schools to reverse this trend by offering critical math and science programs to prepare students for college and career success. Make a difference in the lives of Silicon Valley students by donating to these crucial programs.
The continued improvement of student achievement in public education relies upon the generosity of our donors and partners. To find out more about how you can help SVEF academically prepare more Silicon Valley students for future success, visit www.svefoundation.org.
