Ed Foundation supports local PTOs

Last week, the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation gathered the PTO leaders and principals from the Sonoma Valley public schools to celebrate the start of the school year and to present each with a donation of $1,000 from the proceeds of the Red & White Ball. Education Foundation Executive Director Laura Zimmerman plans to host a PTO working meeting in January to spend more detailed time on issues facing our schools and exploring ways the community can work together to solve them.
