San Marino schools have always been known for its amazing art and music program.   with California’s financial crises, the schools are looking at a deficit of $5,000,000 (17% decrease in funding) which means that a lot of the fabulous programs that our kids are participating in will be cut unless we’re able to raise additional funds.

Today, San Marino High School will host a gala where parents are encouraged to take classes, make crafts, enjoy the French Café, listen to live music while spending a cultural, educational day with the kids.

What a great way to contribute to our schools while having fun!
