Santa Cruz Gardens (SCG) is a small, public school in the Soquel Union Elementary School District serving students in preschool through fifth grade. Of the 280 students enrolled, 31% are categorized as socioeconomically disadvantaged, 13% are English Learners, and 12% are students with disabilities. Our Home & School Club plays a vital role in resourcing our school with many essential educational programs and supplies.  

From Feb. 7-25, 2022, we will be holding a Read-a-Thon fundraiser. This event will encourage reading for our students and families and will raise funds to support:

• Living Life Lab (outdoor garden and lab space at the school for our students)
• Music, visual arts, and dance programs
• Teacher and library supplies
• Educational assemblies and field trips

We are asking for your donation of gift cards or merchandise to offer as Read-a-Thon incentive prizes for our student readers.  Your tax-deductible donation will be recognized on event promotional materials circulated to parents, faculty, and the community.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.  Your donation will ensure our children have access to highly valued and essential educational programs. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
