The La Honda Educational Foundation (LHEF) was founded in 1991 by a group of parents who wanted to provide more services to La Honda Elementary School than state funding would allow.

Thanks for supporting our schools!
"Aging in Place"
Since its inception in 1982, the Coastside Adult Day Health Center's mission is to keep people as healthy, active, and independent as possible, when advancing age calls for more care and attention. The Center's goal is to help restore and maintain mental and physical health to enhance the quality of life for our participants and their caregivers so they can remain in their own homes, near family and friends; in the community they helped build.
Building rockets, making pasta, commanding robots, OH MY! It's a STEAM paradise at El Granada Elementary's Arts & Science Week. We spend a week in May getting immersed in art and science through live shows and hands on activities. The one day students of all ages will choose from 25 mini-courses that are sure to ignite their imagination. All taught by talented community volunteers, children can explore marine life, connect fiber optic cables, create magical masks, and design their own video games.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) education improves critical thinking and problem-solving skills, involves students in the creative process, offers opportunities for meaningful collaboration, encourages exploration of the STEM fields, engenders a different way to value the arts, and gives all students hands-on learning experiences - components critical to future success.
This year, donate the thrill of discovery; support EGE Arts & Science Week and Art Education.
