PFA stands for Parent Faculty Association (just like a PTA)!
Our goal is to raise money to enhance our children's education, and increase communication between parents and faculty. Our association is a team where everyone is a winner!
Our YBPFA raises over $180,000 to supplement your child's education. Without these vital PFA funds, your child would not have:
- Librarian and new library books
- Computer Specialist and supplies
- Music Specialist and concerts
- PE Specialist and equipment
- Reading Aides and classroom supplies
We also organize, support, and promote these wonderful Enrichment activities:
- All Children Talent Series (ACTS)
- After school programs
- Dr. Seuss Night
- Family Fun Nights
- Art Connections
- Humanitarian help and YB Green awareness
- Music Concerts and Storytellers
- Reading Counts and prizes
- Safety programs such as Earthquake supplies, Red Ribbon (say no to drugs) Week, Walk to School Days, etc.
- Symphonic Adventures via the Music Van
- Women in History
Service with a smile - PFA volunteers provide these services to YB families:
- YB Waiting
- Beautification
- Bobcat Clothing
- Bobcat Spirit
- Fifth Grade Activities
- Kindergarten Welcome Picnic
- Publicity
- School Pictures
- Room Parent Tea

The PFA is YOU! Thank you, parents, for your financial support, volunteering, and connecting!
 Fundraising: We strive to provide a well rounded education, and specialists cost money. Our district can not pay for all the programs and enrichment your child receives from the PFA. Out of $180,000 raised, 80% goes directly to salaries and supplies for our specialists and aides. Assuming a student population of 450, the cost per child is $411. Please continue to give generously to maintain these programs. Our fundraisers this year are:
- Bobcat Boosters Donation Drive - $300 suggested investment per child.
- Book Fairs
- Earning for Learning, E-Scrip, Schoolpop.com
- Gift Wrap
- Community events such as the Great Race and Reyes Adobe Days.
- Spring Event & Silent Auction
Please support our fundraising efforts! Every dollar spent goes back into our classrooms!
We support our teachers through teacher reimbursements, PART program, and Teacher Appreciation.
Volunteering: "I'd like to do that someday...when I have time." Please  MAKE TIME to become an advocate for your child's education before they grow up! Show your child by example what it means to give back to a community. Click here to read about available volunteer opportunities.
