Back-to-school prep hit a whole new level this year 📚🎒 Here's a quick recap of SCS's Ready to Learn Magic!

To date, Ready to Learn has served more than 1,800 students with backpacks and school supplies. Throughout August, we will continue providing backpacks and supplies to families connecting with SCS and are partnering with local school districts to ensure they have supplies available for students enrolling throughout the month. We expect to serve more than 2,000 students by the end of the initiative.

Thank you again to our generous sponsors, volunteers, and SCS families!

There’s nothing quite like picking out a new backpack for the first day of school!

Through Ready to Learn, local students selected their favorites, filled them with school supplies and are headed into the new school year with their best foot forward.

A huge thank you to Applied Materials Foundation, our volunteers, partners and corporate sponsors for helping make it happen — and to NBC Bay Area for stopping by to share the story!

We love seeing our community come together for Sunnyvale kids!

🎒 A huge thank you to Applied Materials for being the Major Sponsor of our Ready to Learn Backpack Drive!

We were honored to have Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson join us in person to see the impact of this partnership firsthand. His presence was a powerful reminder of Applied Material Foundations genuine commitment to investing in the success of local students and strengthening our community.

Thanks to Applied Materials' generous support, SCS was able to provide backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students who need them most — helping ensure every child starts the school year feeling prepared, confident, and Ready to Learn.
