A high quality education requires more than the state provides.  LGEF funds much needed supplemental teachers and staff for the children of Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington, Louise Van Meter, and RJ Fisher.

In 2017-2018 LGEF is sharing staff funding with our Home & School Clubs.  And, starting with the  2018-2019 school year, LGEF will assume responsibility for funding all supplemental teachers and staff at all schools.  Learn more here.

Did you know that Los Gatos schools receive less per student from the state and federal government than other, similar districts? Los Gatos Education Foundation helps "fill the gap" by raising funds that help our schools educate the whole child.

Latest LGEF News

Welcome Back to Campus!
As we all get our kids (and ourselves) ready for school, we at LGEF are hard at work preparing for our fall campaign. There are a lot of exciting changes in store for LGEF, changes that will help us do an even better job serving our schools and our children.

But we'd like to first pause and thank all our generous donors from last year.  Because of you LGEF is funding great programs at each of our schools including, Music, Art, Middle School Counseling, STEM, Literacy, and Library Services.

We thank you, our schools thank you, and our kids thank you!
