Flora Vista Families,

TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF FALCON FUND!

We have until 11:59 PM tonight to reach our $100,000 goal. As of this morning, we’ve raised $98,577.42, with 71% school-wide participation.

Falcon Fund helps fill the gap between school funding and the rising cost of the programs and resources our kids benefit from, including in-school reading and math support, field trips, classroom resources, enrichment and SO much more.

Every donation matters, regardless of the amount. Payment plans are available, and corporate matching can double your impact.

🏆 Final Classroom Push!

Every donation counts toward classroom participation, and any class reaching 100% wins the classroom challenge.

BONUS: If we hit $100,000 today, one lucky student gets to pie Principal Oyagi at an upcoming Spirit Assembly! 😂

Already donated? THANK YOU! ❤️

This is it, Falcons. One final day. Let’s reach $100,000 together! 🦅💙
