Benefiting the Public Elementary School Children
of La Jolla
The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival takes place on October 9 and 10 from 11:00am -6:00pm on Upper Girard Avenue. The event donates all proceeds to key programs at three area public schools: La Jolla, Torrey Pines, and Bird Rock Elementary. These commonly underfunded programs include art, music, science, physical education, technology, and on-site medical care by a school nurse. All three beneficiaries are part of the financially troubled San Diego Unified School District.
Public schools in La Jolla receive the least amount of funding in the school district. Please click here to read an article by voiceofsandiego.org that breaks down per-pupil spending at San Diego Unified elementary schools.
