Vista Verde is a K-8 Irvine public school recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School. The campus is located in the Turtle Ridge community but attracts families from every corner of our city. Our student population reflects a rich diversity of cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The Vista Verde Foundation was established in 2000 with the mission to help enhance the educational environment for Vista Verde School students, parents, and staff. The Foundation is a Non-Profit Organization that is supported solely from donations and receives no funds from tax dollars.
With state education budget cuts getting deeper each year, and lack of fundraising events due to the pandemic, events such as this are more critical than ever. The Foundation focuses on capital improvements to the school and looks to raise funds for specific needs, both short and long term. Proceeds from this year’s dinner and Auction will help ensure that continuing facility and technology needs at Vista Verde are met. To date the Foundation has funded the purchase of shade structures in the playgrounds, an upgraded sound system in the multi- purpose room, the electronic school marquee, 1:1 Chromebook/iPad classrooms, an innovative science lab in the middle school wing. Most recently, helped fund the state-of-the-art movable library furniture. The Foundation also funds grant requests submitted by our own teachers and staff for materials or technologies to create or expand the educational opportunities for our students.
