Our urgent need is replacing technology for displaced students to reduce isolation and increase distance learning access.  

Homes are lost, uninhabitable, or under mandatory evacuation.  But even as we're scattered, we reach out to each other like never before.  We named our organization the Community School Foundation for a reason. 

For the children of Bonny Doon displaced by wildfire and stifled by pandemic, school connection, structure, and routine take on special meaning.  And education will always be our mission.  This is urgent work.

We have multiple teachers who have lost homes and require considerable replacement technology to resume distance teaching.

Our immediate need is to replace hardware and connectivity to bring our school back online.  We are assessing additional needs that will arise from this disaster as well.  


Thank you. 

The Bonny Doon Community School Foundation was founded in 1995
as a means of supporting public education by creating opportunities for
​learning and promoting educational excellence for the children of Bonny Doon.

The generosity and hard work of our community has made these accomplishments possible:
  • Our very first fundraising campaign helped fund the “10th teacher” at the school, thereby keeping class sizes down and ensuring an optimal amount of teacher attention for every pupil.
  • Sustaining and strengthening the art, music, and science curricula at the school, especially during the jarring downturns in the general economy.
  • A variety of professional development opportunities for our teaching staff, providing an even stronger foundation for their skills.
  • The creation, in 1998, of the Bonny Doon School Future Fund, an endowment that has helped bridge the gaps in the school’s regular budget.​

Check out this short video about the science program at Bonny Doon School.

Few elementary schools have a science program like the one at Bonny Doon Elementary School.  It would not exist without the generosity of people like you.  Thank you!
