“Whether it is Art, Innovation Lab, Robotics, Engineering, Coding, Science Lab experiments, or band and choir, the pure imagination, creativity, and talent that is abound throughout our CUSD Schools is a true testament to this community and the support of our schools,” shares Michelle Gilmore, CSF’s CEO and President. “We have been in the classrooms this winter filming and capturing photos in the classrooms, and it is remarkable what the students are doing. Our schools have state-of-the-art lab equipment, exceptional levels of instruction, advanced computer technology and the sweet sounds of song and instrumental music around every turn.”
Please join the Coronado Schools Foundation this Thursday, March 14 for the Day of Giving, formerly known as the Telethon, in support of CUSD students and the amazing classes and opportunities funded by CSF. This 24-hour re-imagined fundraising event aims to secure funding to ensure CUSD students have continued access to enriching classes across STEM and the ARTS in grades K-12.
Our business partners and sponsors have returned to support our students, many of whom have their own kids (and grandkids) who attend the schools here. “We are proud to support Coronado families in the way that they support us all year long,” says longtime supporter Marco Zannoni from Garage Buona Forchetta, who has a student at CMS.
Other sponsors include the Hotel del Coronado, Mullins Orthodontics, Dr. Stephen Dao of Coronado Family Dental, Kory Kavanewsky of CMG Home Loans, Spiro’s Greek Café, Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa, Loews Coronado Bay Resort, The Henry, Nicolls Design Build, Emerald City Surf Shop, Holland’s Bicycles, Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro and San Diego Golf Carts.
