COMMUNICATIONS FROM YOUR ED FUND PRESIDENT
Dear Cal High Families,
The purpose of the California High School Education Fund/Academic Boosters is to raise money to enhance learning at California High School. Our fundraising activities are managed by Cal High Parents and we support all students at all grade levels and all levels of academic performance.
Donating to the CHS Academic Boosters can help provide some budget certainty for the school who depend on us for additional teacher positions to help expand classes with high demand and offer specialty classes that might otherwise have low enrollment.
The requested donation amount for 2025-26 is $495 per Cal High student.
Your contribution also directly supports many other programs at Cal High including, but not limited to:
- Student Teams and Clubs, like our award-winning Mock Trial team
- Scholarships for Cal High graduating Seniors
- Student Academic Awards (Certificates, Letters, Pins, Graduation Cords)
We also benefit greatly from Employer Matching Funds! Please fill out the Employee Matching information on the attached form or email us at california.edfundcorpmatch@srvef.org after donating online to give us your employer’s information. We have a dedicated Board Member to help submit matching funds requests, so please fill in the information to help us maximize your donation.
Thank you so much for supporting excellence in education at Cal High.
Sincerely,
Anne-Marie Vanniasinkam
President, CHS Academic Boosters (2025 - 2026)
