This spring, Anneliese Schools is excited to host our annual Fun Run fundraiser, and we need your support to make a lasting impact on our students and campuses!
For our Willowbrook Campus, we’re focused on making our playgrounds more exciting, active spaces that encourage physical play and development and stimulate imagination and creativity. New playground features will offer opportunities for climbing, sliding, and balancing – helping our students develop coordination and strength. These improvements will support growth in motor skills and provide more ways for children to stay active and have fun.
At the Manzanita Campus, we are raising funds to provide students with the latest technology tools, including new Chromebooks, to enhance their learning experience and prepare them for success in a digital world.
Your generosity helps us build a stronger, more enriching environment for our students. Together, we can create an inspiring and supportive space for them to learn, grow, and thrive.
