More senior banners are on the way! 💙💛

Another round of Samohi athletes stepped in front of the camera this week, and we can’t wait to see their faces up on the fences!

This time, we’re celebrating our Vikings in girls water polo, boys and girls wrestling, boys and girls soccer, and boys and girls basketball.

These senior banners are more than photos. They’re a way to recognize the dedication, teamwork, and school pride our student-athletes bring to Samohi.

Stay tuned for the next banner reveal!

Crayons out, imaginations on, and every page a masterpiece! 🎨

Our youngest artists brought so much color and personality to their Pacific Park coloring pages, and their grown-ups couldn’t resist joining in!

Friends chatting over crayons, families coloring side by side, proud kids holding up their finished work. These are the moments that make our school communities feel like home.

Thanks to Pacific Park, an SMEF Corporate Hero partner, every coloring page came with an extra surprise: a free ride ticket for a little fun on the Santa Monica Pier! 🎡

We love Corporate Heroes who show up for our students in ways kids can see and feel. Thank you, Pacific Park, for being a true hero for Santa Monica public schools! 💛

Today only, your Pledge Week gift can do 3X the good for Santa Monica students. 💛

Thanks to Maurice & Rustad, today’s Flash Match partner, gifts will be matched up to $2,500 on top of our Pledge Week match, tripling your impact.

That means more hands-on STEM learning, more Stretch Grants that bring new ideas into classrooms, more access to PS ARTS, and more opportunities for students to discover what excites them, challenges them and helps them grow.

These are the experiences students remember. The ones that spark confidence, creativity and curiosity long after the school day ends.

We’re so grateful to Maurice & Rustad for showing up for Santa Monica students and helping our community make an even bigger difference today.

Pledge Week is here 💛

This week, our Santa Monica community has an extra reason to come together for students. Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, every Pledge Week gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000.

That means your support goes 2X as far for the programs that help students learn, create, compete and thrive across our public schools.

Every gift matters. This week, it matters twice as much.
