Foundation For Discovery

(previously Helping Hands)

Welcome Kelly Families

We’re excited to introduce to you The Kelly Foundation for Discovery (KFFD). The KFFD helps to provide funding for our Discovery Labs.

The Importance of Kelly Foundation for Discovery

DISCOVERY LABS are:

  • Physical Education “PE”

  • Art Classes

  • Science

  • Music Supplies

  • Credentialed Tutors

The State of California does not fund Discovery Labs. It is important for Kelly families to financially contribute to these programs. If we do not meet our financial goals, programs are cut.

Your donation also helps cover costs for assemblies, and grade level programs such as Walk Though Revolution, Farm Day, Global Read Aloud and Carnival . It also helps cover incidentals and Kelly family community nights.

Checks and Cash - Are accepted in the front office, checks made payable to Kelly Elementary PTA

* Suggested donation $350.00 per student

* Payment plan available

WHY I DONATE

“Our family donates because we value art and this allows us to have an art teacher for the whole year!” - J. Seltser

“We donate to help fund things like P.E since CA state & The Federal government doesn't provide fundraising.” - M. Grueskin

“Without funds we can’t afford to pay for discovery lab, family nights and assemblies.” - Anonymous
