What Is Kiddo!?
Kiddo!, the Mill Valley Schools Community Foundation, is a non-profit 501(c3) organization made up of parents, teachers, businesses, and active members of the community who, since 1982, have raised tens of millions of dollars to supplement our limited school budgets. We fund vital programs and teachers at our five elementary schools and middle school - including art, music, drama, poetry, dance, P.E., technology support, teacher grants, classroom aides and library aides.
