Annual “Swinging for the Schools” Fundraiser! October 5, 2024

Who We Are: 10 Years of SSF

The foundation raises funds through generous donations from private and public sources and is accountable to parents and the wider community. We seek to accomplish this mission through our Roots & Boots Initiative.

We have also recognized 3 long-term grants that have made the largest impact on our students: Legacy Grant Awards—at Loyalton Elementary School, Loyalton High School, and Downieville Schools K-12. Check out our newsletter below to read about these quality programs and the educators and community members who dedicated their time and resources to make them successful!

 

Our Main Initiative: Roots & Boots

We support the rural and remote public schools of Sierra County and the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District by providing supplemental funds to address the inequities in the educational experience due to geographic isolation and limited local economic resources. Our mission is to enhance student learning; promote strong teaching; and strengthen academic, social, and cultural programs.

“The Sierra Schools Foundation has been a powerful advocate for equity in our school district and in my classroom”
— Niecea Freeman (Teacher, Downieville Elementary School)
