Each year, the San Juan Public Schools Foundation raises money to support local public schools. Tax-deductible donations help purchase curriculum materials, pay for teacher training and support special programs.

Last year, the foundation aided the Save Our Schools Campaign, which raised $537,648 to help erase a budget funding shortfall.

The foundation also sponsors the annual Phone-a-Thon and a business partnership program. Visit www.sjpsf.org.
