Why This Matters More Than Ever
Scottsdale Unified School District continues to face significant funding cuts. As a result, many of the programs, positions, and resources that make Kiva the exceptional school it is are not funded by the district.
The reality is simple: every student at Kiva benefits from these resources every single day. Without the funds raised by the Kiva PTO, these essential programs cannot continue.
This Is How We Protect What Makes Kiva Special
The programs, staffing, and support systems that define Kiva do not happen by chance, they happen because our community shows up. The auction is how we bridge the gap between district funding and what our students truly need to thrive.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Kiva and for helping protect what makes our school truly special.
