Family School - Bounty of the Valley
NEW DATE: Saturday, April 5, 2025 (was Sept 28th, changed due to Lake Fire cleanup needed)
At the SYVFS Campus for an evening of fantastic food, wine, music, dancing and great auction items!
This September marks the 50th Anniversary of the SYV Family School and we’re ready to CELEBRATE.
The founding families came together in 1974 with a vision for a school that honors the individual voices of its students, and where play is at the center of developing minds and hearts. We owe the foundation of our vision and mission to those early families, and also to YOU, our valued alumni families, as you played a part in carrying that legacy forward during your time with us.
It is for this reason that we cordially invite you to the school’s largest “family reunion” as we kick off the celebration year with Bounty of the Valley on Saturday, September 28th, 2024.
Join 50 years of alumni and beloved staff and faculty on the Family School campus for dinner, dancing and a rousing live auction. TICKETS are on sale on our website.
Purchase Tickets: https://www.syvfamilyschool.org/
