Learning Fund
WHAT IS THE TWIN CREEKS LEARNING FUND?
The Twin Creeks Learning Fund (TCLF) is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of all students at Twin Creeks Elementary School. This is accomplished through the collaboration of parents, staff and our community and by raising funds that support our students, teachers and staff. The Twin Creeks Learning Fund is an affiliate of the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation. For more information, visit www.SRVEF.org.
Why is the Learning Fund needed?
California ranks among the lowest of states in the nation in terms of school staff per student and average spending per student. The parents and staff of Twin Creeks believe that our students deserve advanced computer technology, music education, math and reading specialists, and additional hours for the library. The Learning Fund was established to provide the critical technology and additional staff that the school district and the state simply do not fund. We work hard to elevate the level of education at Twin Creeks, but we need your support to be successful!

LEARNING FUND INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
The Twin Creeks Learning Fund is only possible through the volunteer efforts of parents in the community like you. The Learning Fund's fundraising and decision-making activities are overseen by its Board of Directors. We are in need of new directors, so please do not hesitate to contact the Learning Fund President if you would like to get involved. The board can consist of anywhere from 7 to 15 directors. This includes the school principal, a school faculty member, a PTA representative, and a School Site Council representative. Each Director is elected for a two-year term. Directors typically have the following responsibilities:
-
Attend the board meetings.
-
Take on an officer role (President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer, Financial Secretary, etc.)
-
Chair or help with at least one of our fundraisers. There are typically four fundraisers including Tiger Trot, Mixed Bag, Auction, and Dine In/Dine Out Nights.
-
Represent the Learning Fund at one or more school-wide events, including registration (mid-August), back to school night (early September), kindergarten assessment (early May), and open house (late May).
Board members will also work with Principal Rhonda Taft and one or two of our Twin Creeks teachers. Participating on the Learning Fund Board is a great way to make a significant difference in the quality of your child’s school. So come out and give it a try! And even if you don’t want to be a Director, come to the meetings which are open to anyone who is part of the Twin Creeks community. You are welcome to vote on issues if you have donated any amount of money to the Learning Fund. We hope to see you at an upcoming meeting!
