KEF Programs Count on You
KEF raises funds to provide Art, Library, Physical Education, Recess Support, Science, Reading & Math Support, Math Enrichment, and other programs that are not funded by the school district. These classes and
resources complement the school’s standards-based curriculum, ensuring all students have access to a well-
rounded education. These programs are 100% family & community-funded. KEF is run by parent volunteers, with no paid administrative staff.
​
"KEF funds a wide range of engaging enrichment programs and academic support that enhance our students’ learning experience. These bring variety to the school and connect students with the expertise of diverse educators.
KEF also helps bridge critical funding gaps so we can supplement our curriculum (e.g. Eureka Math²), provide professional development for our teachers, and promote healthy, active play during recess. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributes to and serves on the KEF board; Kensington Elementary simply wouldn’t be the same without KEF!”
-Kim Jordan, Principal
​​Our collective contributions benefit our kids’ education by funding:
-
Salaries for 10 enrichment teachers and aides.
-
Art classes to inspire students’ creativity.
-
Science to spark students’ curiosity.
-
Library classes to foster a love of reading.
-
Physical Education classes, Playworks and increased recess support, and Running Club to help kids stay active and build valuable life skills through play.
-
Academic support in Reading & Math for students who may need extra attention to achieve grade-level success.
-
Much-needed math curriculum for ALL classrooms. KEF is pleased to support the school's request for this district-approved but not funded supplemental math curriculum (Eureka Math). The first time Hilltop will have a standard math curriculum!​​
A Goal to Support All
We aim for 100% participation and appreciate your contribution at whatever level is right for your family. For this school year, our goal is to raise $950 per student to cover the cost of KEF programming. If you’re able to contribute more than $950 you will help defray the cost of programming for families who are not able to contribute at this level. Every pledge, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.​
