With your support, we can continue to offer new and innovative grants for Central Unified Students & Teachers.
Central Unified Robotics Teams
Compete in First LEGO League
Students from Glacier Point Middle School, Harvest Elementary, and Liddell Elementary put their STEM skills to the test in the First LEGO League Challenge. Working together, they tackled problem-solving challenges and built models using LEGO DUPLO bricks, all while gaining hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Thanks to funding from the Academics Pillar Grant, materials and registration fees for local and state competitions were covered, ensuring that students could innovate, collaborate, and compete on a larger stage.
New Equipment
Enhances Unified Sports
for Central Unified Students
Students from Central Unified and neighboring districts came together last week through the Unified Sports and United PE programs. Hosted at Rio Vista Middle School, the event allowed students to train and play soccer using newly purchased equipment funded by the Athletics Pillar Grant.
Through these programs, students of all abilities build teamwork, confidence, and a shared love for sports, reinforcing the power of inclusion in athletics.

Textbook Grants for
High School Enrichment Program
We’re proud to introduce our newest initiative, made possible through our partnership with Engineered Industrial Products Inc.
Through the High School Enrichment Program, students can earn college credit with waived enrollment fees. However, the cost of course materials, including textbooks, remains a barrier for many. To support students in need, the Foundation is offering financial assistance for textbooks to ensure every student has access to the resources they need to succeed.
